Light and airy, with only the faintest whiff of pathos or self-importance, A League of Their Own offers a refreshingly buoyant vision of America’s favorite pastime. Unburdened by the grandiose mythologizing of movies like The Natural and Field of Dreams, the film regards baseball with a breezy, wide-eyed innocence that captures the uniquely languid joy of the sport.

This Used To Be My Playground” is exactly the wrong song for a singer like Madonna. In its glassy texture, “Playground” sounds like something that a grand ‘90s balladeer might sing, but Madonna is not a grand ’90s balladeer. She doesn’t have the pipes of a Whitney Houston or a Celine Dion, and she doesn’t have that kind of hammy squaresville delivery, either. She can’t make the song dramatic, and she doesn’t really try. Instead, she tries to give the song a poised, understated reading, but there’s no spirit in her delivery, no personality. She also over-enunciates a bit — a possible early warning of the fake British accent that she’d start using in the years ahead. (For my money, the exaggerated New York accent that she uses in A League Of Their Own is way more charming.) The CASH BOX Year-End Charts: 1992 . TOP 50 POP SINGLES". Cash Box. December 28, 1992.
