A League of Their Own was one of the popular sports films in the 1990s. The 1992 film is based on the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, and recently one of the members of the Rockford Peaches, Mary Pratt, died at the age of 101. She was in the league for five seasons and became one of the best pitchers.

"It was in 1943 that I had the opportunity to become a member of the AAGPBL," Pratt wrote on the AAGPBL official website. "In June of that year, I was contacted by personnel in Chicago and flew out to Chicago after the close of school. I was met by Mr. Ken Sells, appointed by Mr. Philip Wrigley as President of the AAGPBL. I was escorted to Rockford and joined that team. That evening, Rockford was in the process of playing a league game at the 15th Ave. stadium. That was my introduction into the All-American and the start of five wonderful summers as a member of the league, 1943-47."

Penny Marshall directed A League of Their Own, and it starred Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna and Lori Petty, among others. The film was so successful that a TV series is currently in the works. Here's a look at where the cast is now after the film was released 28 years ago.

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks, 63, played the role of Manager Jimmy Dugan. He was the most established star and he has only gotten bigger over the last 25 years. After A League of Their Own, Hanks won Academy Awards for his roles in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. He has also starred in all four Toy Story Films and recently earned rave reviews for his role as Fred Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
