A League of Their OwnTom Hanks portrays Jimmy Dugan, an alcoholic, ex-baseball player whose big league career is over. Jimmy Dugan gets hired to coach the All-American Girls Baseball League in 1943 when all the men went off to war. At first he didn't believe in the girls and was extremely negative and sarcastic about their ability. He never took their games seriously. Eventually they win his heart and bring him back into the game with gutsy plays and fierce competitiveness.Dugan is especially fond of Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis), the girl with the best swing on the team. Dotty spends most of her time keeping Coach Dugan in line while leading and sometimes calling the shots for her team. The roster includes Madonna, Lori, Petty, and Rosie O'Donnell. This team goes all the way to the World Series. This movie is based on a true story of women who paved the way for women's athletics as we know it today. A League of their Own is extremely inspirational and a must see for all girls.
