In 1943, as WWII rages on, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) is formed to keep to sport from dying out while the men are fighting overseas. A former Cubs player (Tom Hanks) is assigned to manage one of the teams, the Rockford Peaches, whose players include Geena Davis, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell. Hanks’s line, “There’s no crying in baseball,” deservedly became famous.
