'I remember A League Of Their Own, and I specifically remember not seeing women that looked like me on that team,' said Chanté Adams. Now she gets to play one.
“Right here,” catcher Dottie Hinson calls out to one of the Black women who’s picked up the ball. But the bystander doesn’t throw it back to Hinson; she hurls it even further, straight and hard into the mitt of another Peach, who then pulls her hand out of her glove and shakes off the shock of the catch. Hinson offers an eyebrow raise, and the woman simply nods in return, as if to say, “I’m here, too, and I’m good.” Without uttering a word, she’s a revelation.
’s Abbi existing in 1943, she’s running—literally towards a train that will take her straight to tryouts for the AAGPBL, but figuratively from her life as a deeply unfulfilled wife to a kind, albeit boring, man fighting in World War II. Upon arrival, she crosses paths with best friends Gill and Jo DeLuca , who are an apparent nod to Madonna’s, “All the Way” Mae Mordabito and Rosie O’Donnell’s, Doris Murphy. Inevitably, all three become Peaches, as do a talented number of others.
