Marissa Tomei would have done a good job, but the story was about Dottie and Kit, and Marissa was too big a star to play a character role. She would have been a distraction. Besides, I think Madonna was very good.

she came to international attention in 1992 with the comedy My Cousin Vinny, for which she received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress

Yes, I know that but one successful role did not make her too big a star to have a role in A League of Their Own. Are you saying that Geena Davis was less of a star? Ms Davis had already had an Oscar (The Accidental Tourist), along with hit films Beetlejuice, The Fly and Thelma & Louise. Madonna was already a star, as was Hanks. So to say that Ms Tomei was too big a star to do this film, is absurd.

Marisa would have been a great addition. She could pull off retro.
But I love Madonna and Madonna/Rosie in this movie.
Marisa's star wattage wouldn't have mattered. The Peaches had an assortment of actresses, from no-names to Madonna who was enormously popular and had just starred in the high profile Dick Tracy.
