Program Description

Event Details

Join Rebecca Tulloch, a modern Rockford Peach and manager of the "League of Our Own" vintage softball team. The 1992 film, A League of Their Own, introduced modern America to the Rockford Peaches and the Women of the Greatest Generation who played professional baseball to keep up the morale on the American Home Front during WW2. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was so successful that it continued for nearly a decade after the war ended. Who were the real women who joined the league that inspired the film and TV series?
