It's War World II, and all of America's young men are being drafted, depleting baseball's Minor League teams of talent. Baseball stadiums around the country sit empty. Then, Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall), of the famed Harvey Candy Bar, has a great brainstorm: women’s baseball! Scout Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) finds two on an Oregon farm. Dottie (Geena Davis) is the older sister and outstanding catcher for the local dairy farm; her sister Kit (Lori Petty) is the mediocre pitcher who so wants to join the new league. Dottie is reluctant, but the only way Capadino will take Kit is if Dottie joins as well…and, of course, she does. As the girls are recruited, managers are needed. Mr. Harvey brings in an old time slugger, and drunk, Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks). Dugan is thrilled to be managing again…until he finds out it’s a bunch of women. Nevertheless, his pocketbook outweighs his pride, and he coaches the newly formed Rockford Peaches. From there, the trials and tribulations of baseball, friendship and the home front ensue. In the end, we see how baseball can connect so many different lives, and the experiences they all share.
