Baseball has often been the subject of inspirational sports films, as “America’s game” celebrates the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and audience participation. While many of the best baseball films are fictitious, Penny Marshall’s 1992 classic A League of Their Own was based on the inspirational true story of the creation of All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1943. The league’s creation marked an important shift in the representation of women in sports. While Marshall’s film explores these athletes’ experiences in a comedic way, it does not detract from the importance of what they accomplished. Retaining a sense of accuracy was clearly important during the film’s inception, as the production of A League of Their Own left many of its stars with serious injuries.
