Description
The All-American Girls’ Professional Baseball League was founded in 1943, when most of the men of baseball-playing age were far away in Europe and Asia fighting World War II. The league flourished until after World War II, when, with the men’s return, the league was consigned to oblivion. Director Penny Marshall re-creates the wartime era when women’s baseball looked to stand a good chance of sweeping the country. Starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty and Madonna
