Batter up: Madonna’s guts, Rosie’s secret & more fascinating facts about ‘A League Of Their Own’
A League Of Their Own. That’s one of the most popular lines from the film—and from movie history in general!—but the rest of the 1992 sports movie is just as quotable, funny, emotional, and all-around delightful, too.Based on the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), the movie takes place during World War II, following an underdog baseball team with an alcoholic manager (Tom Hanks) set on making them into champions—though even he struggles to believe women can make great athletes.
