Whatcha Watchin': Baseball movies

By Hannah Carroll (Office of Marketing and Communications)

My 8-year-old daughter recently watched The Sandlot for the first time. It’s a beloved classic for geriatric millennials, but it’s problematic—put me in a parenting pickle, if you will. Viewing The Sandlot required conversations about namecalling (don’t do it), swearing (really don’t do it), and why a kid would shout, “You play ball like a girl!” as an insult. 

That last one confused my daughter. “But girls are good at baseball,” she said. “What about Dottie and Kit?” Uh, yes—correct! Is there a more perfect movie than A League of Their Own? If you, too, love the 1992 movie based on the All-American Girls Baseball League, you can watch it under the stars at Switchyard Park this Friday, July 15, at 9:45 p.m.!

How it works: If you’re new to hiking and have questions, join the Hiking Club on IU Kelley Hiking Club - Microsoft Teams Site. We have lots of knowledge about trails in and around Bloomington and we’re happy to share! 

Our hikes as a group will generally follow these guidelines for our events:

  • Hikes are usually once a month, on Sundays at 10 a.m.
  • We try to select hikes roughly two miles in length with mild/moderate conditions.
  • Locations are usually within 30 minutes of Bloomington so we can experience the amazing areas we have so close to us.
  • Family and pets are encouraged! If a trail has a limited pet policy, we'll do our best to share that with you beforehand.

Safety guidelines:

  • In the past, we had the option to carpool from campus due to the small parking lots of some of the trailheads. Until COVID guidelines are changed, we ask that you stick with what is comfortable for you (if someone is in your "pod," for example).
  • We ask that you wear a mask while on the hike with the group. If you feel the need to remove it for a mask break, please socially distance as you are able.
  • If you feel sick, please stay home and we’ll see you on the next one!

Contact: Ryan Craven

How it works: We meet Thursdays during the lunch hour to work on projects, share tips, and get to know each other better. We are looking to attend some events, such as the yarn crawls and fiber arts festivals. We also plan to do a community project, such as making scarves for the homeless.

LEARNERS WELCOME! We can help you get started!
