Ratings and reviews

The A League of Their Own feature film was based on this documentary. These are the women who really knew how to play ball. With nicely chosen archival footage, and a host of inspiring and comic personalities, this documentary is a real treat. Who needs Madonna when you can see these great women ballplayers really hit the dirt in the skirt for real. Make sure to see this. A Memorable and forgotten slice of American history brought back to life.

A League of Their Own...The Documentary...is a great film to watch with the whole family, espcially if you have young girls. The real women of the All American Girls Baseball League are truly inspiring, and its motivational message is amazing. The footage in this film is remarkable, while telling the real stories behind the women . It is a must see part of our American history.

This is a fascinating documentary about the real women that played in the women’s professional baseball league. I loved seeing them get together and play again in their senior years. Just so sweet and inspiring! Amazing personalities.
