Are you a fan of the classic 1992 movie, A League of Their Own? If so, you may be wondering if there is a new road trip in the works for this beloved film.
Well, the good news is that there is indeed a new A League of Their Own road trip in the works! According to reports, Amazon Studios is currently developing a TV series adaptation of the popular movie. The series will reportedly pick up where the film left off and explore the lives of other women who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL).
The AAGPBL was founded in 1943 and lasted until 1954. During that time, it gave many women the opportunity to play professional baseball at a time when it was not considered an acceptable sport for women. The league inspired many young girls and women to pursue their dreams and break down gender barriers.
If you’re excited about this new road trip, you may be wondering where you can go to visit some of the locations featured in the original movie. Luckily, there are several places you can visit to get a taste of what it was like for these trailblazing women.
One popular destination is Cooperstown, New York, home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The museum has an exhibit dedicated entirely to women in baseball, including those who played in the AAGPBL. You can also visit Doubleday Field, which served as one of the filming locations for A League of Their Own.
Another location worth visiting is Rockford, Illinois. This city was home to one of the teams featured in the movie, and today it has a museum dedicated to women’s baseball history. The International Women’s Baseball Center also recently announced plans to build a permanent museum and education center dedicated to preserving and promoting women’s baseball history.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply curious about this important chapter in sports history, a road trip to some of these destinations is sure to be both educational and inspiring. So pack your bags, grab your glove, and get ready to hit the road!
