Amazon.com essential video:
Penny Marshall's popular 1992 comedy sheds light on a little-known chapter of American sports history with its story of a struggling team in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The league was formed when the recruiting of soldiers during World War II resulted in a shortage of men's baseball teams. The AAGPBL continued after the war (until 1954), and Marshall's movie depicts the league in full swing, beginning when a savvy baseball scout (Jon Lovitz) finds a pair of promising new players in small-town Oregonian sisters (Geena Davis, Lori Petty). The sisters are signed to play for the Rockford Peaches near Chicago, whose new manager (Tom Hanks) is a former home-run king who wrecked his career with alcoholism. They're all a bunch of underdogs, and Marshall (with a witty script by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) does a fine job of establishing a colorful team of supporting players including Madonna and (in her movie debut) Rosie O'Donnell. It's a conventional Hollywood sports story (Marshall's never been one to take dramatic risks), but the stellar cast is delightful, and the movie's filled with memorable moments, witty dialogue, and agreeable sentiment. And just remember: there's no crying in baseball! --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Excellent movie
This is such an excellent movie. Because of this movie, I have become very interested in learning more about the AAGPBL (I always wished that I was born then so I could play in the AAGPBL), very interesting part of history that we never hear about. Geena Davis, Madonna and all the cast members are great in this movie. If you want to watch a great film, this is definitely the one to watch.

Rating: - Memoprable and Worthwhile
I admit that I am a baseball junkie and did not know as much about this part of the great american pastime as I should have and before I saw the movie I did not know the historical perspective of the subject matter. But that changed.

This is just an out and out great movie with a wonderful cast, Tom Hanks and Geena Davis turn in wonderful performances. I am not a big fan of either Madonna or Rosie O'Donnell, but because of their efforts in this movie I do take a double look whenever ... Read More

Rating: - "There's no crying in baseball!"
With the institution of the peacetime draft in 1940, Major League Baseball went into a major league slump, since, as a repository of well-conditioned 1-A young males, it lost a significant percentage of its players to the demands of the war years. Some did not return.

To counter the loss, owners resuscitated the careers of older players dragged from retirement, promoted the abilities of marginal utility players and minor leaguers ineligible for the draft, and engaged in publicity stunts ... Read More
