New “A League Of Their Own” TV Series
I can’t believe it’s been 30 years. In July of 1992, Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell and more starred in “A League of Their Own” about the women’s professional baseball league during WWII. It was directed by Penny Marshall and to this day…is great. And you can’t tell me you’ve NEVER heard this line!
Coming August 12, Amazon Prime is releasing all 8 episodes of its TV series adaptation, but don’t expect it to mimic the original (which was historically accurate). No, this version-although still based in the same time period-“takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the league and outside of it.” I can’t wait to see.

“A League of Their Own” stars Abbi Jacobson, D’Arcy Carden, Nick Offerman (one would assume in the Tom Hanks role) and again premiers August 12 on Amazon Prime.
