'''THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL'''!"\|'''Jimmy Dugan'''}} As all the best baseball stars went off to fight [[World War II\|the good war]], something had to be done to get baseball stadiums busy. One man's solution: Create the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. This is their story. To be more concise, '''''A League of Their Own''''' is a 1992 film directed by [[Penny Marshall]], starring her brother [[Garry Marshall\|Garry]], and featuring [[Geena Davis]], [[Lori Petty]], [[Madonna]], [[Rosie O'Donnell]], [[Tom Hanks]] and [[Jon Lovitz]]. It is a fictionalized telling of the founding of the aforementioned baseball league and its struggles to stay relevant after the war ended. The main focus is the Rockford (Ill.) Peaches, headed by drunkard former baseball player Jimmy Dugan, and Kit and Dottie, two sisters who join the team. Spawned a [[Recycled: the Series\|television adaptation]] on CBS running for [[Short Runners\|six episodes]], airing at bizarrely-varying times (somewhere between May and August) throughout 1993.
