Summer’s back – I have no idea what happened last weekend – and I’m ready for a ball game.
While it poured on Memorial Day, I watched the most excellent A League of Their Own, the fictionalized account of the World War II-era female baseball team – the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
There’s something about those ’80s and ‘90s American films. They’re upbeat and hopeful, not dark and cynical. This one is joyous, and has a great cast – Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, and the brilliant Rosie O’Donnell, who gets away with all the sidesplitting one liners.
I’m in the mood – gotta get those Coney Island Cyclones tickets.
