    Released in 1992, “A League of Their Own” is a movie directed by Penny Marshall. Base on a real story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, the movie tells a story about a memorable period of time and those extraordinary female baseball players.

    In 1992, Dottie Hinson attends the opening of the new All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame. She sees many of her former teammates and friends, prompting a flashback* to 1943.

    When World War II threatens to shut down Major League Baseball, candy maker Walter Harvey persuades his fellow owners to bankroll* a women’s league. Ira Lowenstein is put in charge, and Ernie Capadino is sent to recruit players.

    Capadino finds small-town girl Dottie and her younger sister Kit in rural Oregon. They later meet taxi dancer* Mae Mordabito and her best friend, former bouncer Doris Murphy, soft-spoken right fielder Evelyn Gardner, illiterate* and shy left fielder Shirley Baker, and pitcher and former Miss Georgia Ellen Sue Gotlander. They and eight others are selected to form the Rockford Peaches.

    The Peaches are managed by Jimmy Dugan. As the Peaches establish themselves as the class of the league, Dottie and Kit’s sibling* rivalry* intensifies*, which leads to Kit being traded to another team. Dottie chooses to return home with her husband who comes back from battlefield.

    The team continues without Dottie and makes it to the World Series against Kit’s Racine Belles.

    Dottie unexpectedly rejoins the team for game seven. After much hard work, the Belles win when Kit scores the final run, after Dottie drops the ball at home plate. After the game, the sisters reconcile* before Dottie leaves to raise a family.

    Back to the present (1992), Dottie is reunited with several other players, including Kit, whom she has not seen in several years. The fates of several of the characters are revealed.
