A League of Their Own

With all the male professional baseball players away fighting in World War II, drunken ex-Major League star Jimmy Dugan (Tom 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.
