I loved this movie and had seen it years ago, and just had to buy it. My grandpa told me that he remembered when this really happened, when there was the first woman's baseball league because of the war. It had parts that made you laugh and parts that made you cry. It showed the strength of women and it shows how different things are today for women. I loved the different characters personalities, and how their lives changed because of this. I would recommend this movie to anyone. | |

I bought it because it's a great movie with a great cast. They portray the days and times of what the film is trying to capture, with such humor and excitement, along with the necessary drama and sadness. I bought it because I wanted to add it to my collection. | |
