The Great Penny Marshall

I was really sad to hear about the passing of the director Penny Marshall on December 17, 2018. In my opinion, as a girl who plays the great game of baseball, I consider her to have directed the best sports movie ever in A League of Their Own. Aside from being a wonderful film, it educated so many that there was a time when women actually got to play baseball professionally.

My heart goes out to Tracy Reiner, Marshall’s daughter who played left field/relief pitcher Betty “Spaghetti” Horn in the movie.

Short Film explaining how there is still Gender Inequality in Baseball

My big brother made this 5 minute film based on interviews he did this summer. It's a "teaser" for a longer documentary that he'll make about girls who play baseball.
He explains "Baseball is known as America's national pastime, but, in reality, half of the country is excluded. Most people implicitly assume that baseball is for boys and softball is for girls. But an increasing number of girls and women are refusing to accept the status quo."

Please watch. We still have to deal with inequality in many areas.
