A League of Their Own
Considering all the bats they've swung at their cheating husbands, baseball seems the ideal sport for women.
But that line of thinking isn't why the managers in this dramedy decided to add ladies to their roster.
With players off fighting Hitler, MLB is put on life-support. It's not until it's suggested that they start a female league that fans return. With manager Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) in the dugout, catcher Dottie (Geena Davis) at home plate and her sister (Lori Petty) on the mound, the Rockford Peaches become darlings of the circuit.
Thanks to its colorful characters and amiable script, this adaptation of the real life women's league offers viewers an inside look at this rare act of equality - however short-lived. And while it dips into sentimentality on occasion, it just makes these players more relatable.
Furthermore, the only real difference between female and male baseball players is less ass slapping. Green Light
