A League Of Their Own [DVD]

Tom Hanks and Geena Davis star in this comedy drama directed by Penny Marshall. With all the male professional baseball players away fighting in World War II, drunken ex-Major League star Jimmy Dugan (Hanks) is employed to coach the Rockford Peaches, a team made up of women from all walks of life. Initially reluctant, Dugan eventually rediscovers his enthusiasm when he realises how much the game means to his all-girl team as they embark on securing a spot in the World Series. The cast also includes Rosie O'Donnell, Lori Petty and Madonna.
