Episode: A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
Description: July 1st, 1992 women take over the game of baseball on the big screen. The Rockford Peaches are one of 4 teams in the newly made All American Girls Baseball league. A real league that existed for 9 seasons from 1943 to 1954. Geena Davis stars as Dottie Henson, Tom Hanks as Jimmy Duggan, and Lori Petty as Kit Keller.

This is one of the sports movies it feels like every single person has seen at least once.
