A League of Their Own (1992)
A sports comedy drama film directed by Penny Marshall, A League of Their Own (1992) follows the story of Dottie Hinson attending the opening of an exhibit for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1988. Seeing her former teammates and friends sparks memories of 1943 when World War II threatened to shut down Major League Baseball. In a desperate attempt to keep baseball alive, Chicago Cubs owner Walter Harvey convinces his colleagues to fund a women’s league, led by Ira Lowenstein. Soon after, scout Ernie Capadino is impressed by Dottie’s skills as a catcher during an industrial-league softball game in Oregon. However, Dottie is content with her life and focused on waiting for her husband Bob to return from war. Meanwhile, her sister Kit Keller dreams of breaking free from their small town and making something of herself.
Capadino is unimpressed by Kit’s batting and refuses to watch her pitch, but agrees to take her along if she changes Dottie’s mind. In order to appease Capadino, Dottie reluctantly agrees. Eventually, the two sisters make their way to Harvey Field in Chicago for a tryout, where they meet an interesting group of women including second baseman Marla Hooch, taxi dancer Mae ‘All the Way Mae’ Mordabito and bouncer Doris Murphy, right fielder Evelyn Gardner, left fielder Shirley Baker, pitcher/shortstop Ellen Sue Gotlander (a former Miss Georgia beauty queen), relief pitcher Betty ‘Spaghetti’ Horn, first baseman Helen Haley, and Alice ‘Skeeter’ Gaspers. These skilled women are joined by 48 others who make up the Racine Belles, Kenosha Comets and South Bend Blue Sox teams.
