Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna star in this major-league comedy from the
team that brought you BIG. Hanks stars as Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up ball player
whose big league days are over. Hired to coach in the All-American Girls
Baseball League of 1943-while the male pros are at war-Dugan finds himself drawn
back into the game by the heart and heroics of his "all-girl" team.
Jon Lovitz
adds a scene-stealing cameo as the sarcastic scout who recruits Dottie Hanson
(Davis), the "baseball dolly" with a Babe Ruth swing. Teammates Madonna, Lori
Petty and Rosie O’Donnell round out the roster, taking the team to the World
Series.
Based on the true story of the pioneering women who blazed the trail for
generations of athletes, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN is "a home run."
