Sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) join the first female professional baseball league and struggle to help it succeed amidst their own growing rivalry. With baseball lineups and locker rooms left empty during World War II, the newly-founded All-American Girls Baseball League brought talented women to the big leagues—and brought fans to the stands. The indomitable Dottie finds herself leading a ragtag group of players who end up winning over the heart of their has-been coach, Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks). Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell and Jon Lovitz round out the all-star roster. Based on the true story of the pioneering women who blazed the trail for generations of athletes. This screening is part of the “Light, Camera, History!” series, co-presented by the Sewickley Valley Historical Society and The Lindsay, which explores history through film.
