A League of Their Own

I will always cry at this movie. From the second that the movie starts I am crying. It's a sports movie about sisters. I don't stand a chance.

Today I tuned in in the middle of the movie, and found a new fantastic moment to tear up at.

My moments are and not limited to:

- The beginning of the movie, the opening song.

- When Marla gets allowed to try out and when she meets Nelson . (Marla the ugly one)

- When the girl who can't read tries to see if she's made it.

- When the woman finds out her husband died in the war.

- When Kit gets traded to the Racine Belles.

- Every time they sing the song "We're the members of The All American League, We come from cities near and far."

- When Kit slides home and Dottie drops the ball. (I am crying thinking about that moment.)

- I BAWL when they are older playing ball, and then go to the museum and the sisters see each other.

My new moment is during this montage when they are showing the women in the news, and there is this African American woman who is on the sidelines who throws a ball to Dottie, way farther than she thought this woman could throw, and they give each other a knowing glance.

This movie is amazing on all fronts. If I could meet Penny Marshall I would give her a hug and then cry in her arms like I cried in my Grandmother's lap when I saw this movie in the theaters. She would be just as confused as my Grandmother was. But it would be worth it.
