Two weeks ago we all took a minute to find out which League of Their Own character we were, and it was a very intense and important process for us as a community. Now we have come upon the logical next step in this journey of League of Their Own discovery: learning who amongst the gay League of Their Own characters are our intended Gal Pal: Max Chapman, Jess McCready, Lupe Garcia, Carson Shaw, Jo Deluca or Greta Gil?

Also thank you for this sentence, absolutely true:
“Two weeks ago we all took a minute to find out which League of Their Own character we were, and it was a very intense and important process for us as a community. ”
Yes, that sentence made me laugh out loud!
Max. Hubba hubba.
I’m apparently Jess, so peeing standing up is one of my many talents. ;)
How fun!
Jess! Hell yeah
Greta Gill. I also got Greta on the other test 🤷🏻♀️I guess I’m a bit shellfish
this quiz knows me better than i know myself . . .
Riese, thank you for this! I tried to take the other quiz “backwards” to find my soulmate (which suitcase if owned by someone else do I find most attractive, etc) and it didn’t work, just kept giving me the same answer as who I am (Carson).
My soulmate is obviously Greta or Esther, and this quiz can see that!
Lupe! Chef’s kiss.
I am Greta Gill and I should date Greta Gill, as the taurus queen Lizzo sings ‘Cause I’m my own soulmate’.
I saw the gay aunties question and knew immediately that Max and I were destined for each other.
She has such vivid gay auntie energy
Thrilled to get Jess, the handy Canadian butch of my dreams!!
lupe! quite pleased with this and also the baseball pick up line question has given me so much fodder to annoy my friends
Back to share this quote I found while researching my “girlfriend” aka Jess aka Kelly McCormack, whi said in an interview “women, … are my muse, my religion, my love.”
The dykiest thing ever said??
!!!! Hard same.
I got Lupe for both quizzes – oops. I really wasn’t kidding when it took me a nanosecond to click ‘Not being sure if you wanna be her(/them) or you wanna date her(/them)’
same
Me too! I guess my current S.O. is similar to me in a lot of ways…
Lupe!
I do admit to have gone into this quiz determined to get her but we’re meant to be!
Since ‘Vida’, Roberta Colindrez has been my one huge celebrity crush and I couldn’t believe it when she was cast in this show, and it was everything. If we get another season (Please God in heaven!) I want her to get a small love interest.
Me too!! Re: my one celebrity crush. Since “I love dick”!!
Add me to the group who got the same character in both quizzes! Jess and I were just meant to be I guess. LOL
HAHA. So on the other quiz, I was Carson Shaw and on this one, she’s who I’d want to date. Explains a lot. LOL.
Haha same! I guess my “do I wanna date her or be her” feelings are very valid.
Omg I got Jess, so this quiz is 100% accurate and a work of science
Lupe!
In true lesbian stereotype fashion, I myself to the quiz and learned I am Greta… and took this quiz and learned Greta is my soulmate. Can’t complain lol
love this
Lupe! Swoon.
100% would sit through 9 innings for max
This quiz duet is legit. My wife got Carson Shaw on the “which character are you?” quiz, and I got Carson as my gf on this one!
I got Carson on which player I was and I got Carson for who should be my girlfriend. Lol well…
Can I just say how relieved I am that we don’t have to be only Shanes or Jennys or Danas anymore
LUPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew it! Thank you, AS, for confirming what I already knew in my deepest dyke soul and facilitating what will surely be the best match of my life! I mean, ahem, besides my current partner of 24 years, of course.
Also, I just need to add that I would have been very happy with Jess or Max, but Max is a teensy bit too femme for me and Jess seems like she could be harder to talk with and reminds me of actual exes who could not open up…
One more thing: it was close to impossible to choose a teen crush object because the real and accurate answer was ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Jessie (popular), Alex (butch, out, and did not care what they said), Jennifer (amazing soccer player who gave zero fucks), Emily (winsome weird poet artist femme), that older girl in my marching band rifle line, and so many others…
But in the end I picked the one that would be most likely to get me to Lupe, because Lupe.
Jess 🥰 Yes pls
