Movie Matinee: A League of Their Own

In celebration of of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and Springfield's very own Springfield Sallies, the Lincoln Library is proud to present Penny Marshall's 1992 movie, A League of Their Own! In 1943, a washed-up ballplayer is hired to coach in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League while the male pros are at war. Reluctant at first, he finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his team. Based on a true story.
