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.
