"There's No
Crying in Baseball"
The 1992 film, A League of Their Own, introduced
modern America to the Women of the Greatest Generation
who played professional baseball to keep up the morale
on the American Home Front during WW2. The All-American
Girls Professional Baseball League was so successful
that it continued for nearly a decade after the war
ended. Who were the real women who joined the league
that inspired the film? Join Rebecca Tulloch, a modern
Rockford Peach and manager of the "League of Our Own"
vintage softball team, as she traces the truth and
fiction about the film, A League of their Own.
