One uniform. Two kinds of history.
The 1992 film A League of Their Own introduced many viewers to a story inspired by the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The real league began in 1943 and continued through 1954. The film’s characters and scenes are a dramatization, rather than a documentary record.
The pictured Rockford Peaches style uniform is the focus of this Spotlight Collection. Its visual connection to the film makes it a way into both cinema and sporting history, while keeping the history of the real players distinct from their portrayal on screen.
This feature does not claim the uniform was worn in the film or in the original league. Signatures, provenance, condition and any future sale offer require their own item documentation.
Historical sources: National Baseball Hall of Fame. Historical evidence and item documentation serve different purposes.
