A post shared by Jackson Rockabillys (@rockabillysjtn)Minor league baseball teams often try new initiatives to spark fan interest and present something unique.
But the Jackson Rockabillys are taking that innovative spirit to the next level.Located in Jackson, Tennessee, the Rockabillys are hosting a “Game of Their Own” event this season, a tribute to the iconic baseball movie, A League of Their Own.
The film, which was released in 1992 and features beloved queer icons like Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, tells the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGBPL).
The league was started when the U.S. entered World War II and many MLB stars were drafted to serve overseas. It lasted from 1943 to 1952.
