About this listen

There’s no crying in baseball… but there is a lot to talk about.

This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we step up to the plate with A League of Their Own (1992), the iconic sports comedy-drama about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during World War II.

We talk sisters, rivalry, and the challenge of proving you belong while playing professional baseball in skirts. Along the way, we revisit legendary performances from Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, and Tom Hanks at peak chaotic-coach energy.

We also dive into:

  • The real history behind the women’s league
  • Penny Marshall’s direction and 90s sports movie storytelling
  • The unforgettable “There’s no crying in baseball!” moment
  • The powerful ending and why this story still resonates today
