During World War II, when men are at the front lines, Major League Baseball decides to form a women's league to keep the passion for baseball alive. Thus, a unique opportunity arises for a group of women to showcase their talent in a sport that had been dominated by men until then. Among them stands out Dottie Hinson, a talented player with the ability to be both the heart and the mind of the team, and her sister Kit, who increasingly feels undervalued despite her undeniable talent.
With a cast of colorful characters, from the brash and proud Doris Murphy to the sweet yet firm Mae Mordabito, the team goes through rigorous training and personal challenges as they try to find their place both on the field and in society. As the girls fight against prejudice, rivalry, and their own internal struggles, their stories intertwine, creating an almost unbreakable bond.
As they strive to win games in a league that seeks to be taken seriously, they not only aim to be recognized as athletes but also as women who have taken control of their lives in a time of uncertainty. With humor and heart, the story reflects the fight for equality and the power of sisterhood, showing that while baseball may be a team sport, the true triumph lies in friendship and empowerment.
