League of Their Own (calendar)

League of Their Own 2006 is a black-and-white nude calendar[1] with 12 Australian rugby league footballers from the National Rugby League competition. The photos were taken by the Australian celebrity photographer Pedro Virgil.

This article is about the calendar. For the 1992 film, see A League of Their Own. For other uses, see A League of Their Own (disambiguation).

The calendar was put on sale in December 2005 and was produced in the same erotic style that has made French rugby's annual Dieux du Stade calendars so successful, with the players being photographed nude separately in various locations, both indoors and outdoors. Proceeds from the sales of League Of Their Own 2006 went to the Koori Kids Foundation, an organization that uses sport to assist indigenous and non-indigenous Australian children living in rural and remote areas to achieve their goals and dreams in life. The 2005 Dally M Medal winner Johnathan Thurston was chosen to appear on the cover.

The calendar had the following players:

gollark: I just heard about that existing yesterday. Suspicious.
gollark: Oh, its SHEER singlethreadedness is bad.
gollark: Those too, yes.
gollark: There's also whatever the bee prototypes do, the sheer insanity of whatever empty slots in arrays mean, the lack of maps with non-string keys until recently, the inconsistent APIs browsers have accreted over the years, no good module system until ES6ish, and the fact that important features such as any iterators whatsoever got added late and so are barely supported.
