Two competitive sisters are recruited to play in a short-lived all-women's baseball league during World War II. Coached by a drunken ex-baseball legend (Hanks), they are picked to represent rival teams, which further strains their already delicate relationship.

Wonderful action-drama-comedy from a solid director in Penny Marshall. The on-field action compensates for the slow off-field dramatic theme which runs throughout. Tom Hanks is slightly mis-cast and probably didn't deserve top billing with so much female talent in the film/script.
