Emotional Burden

One fan replied: "I was obsessed with this movie as a girl! SO, i completely understand. I remember going to the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown and being wrecked that there was only one little glass case for the women. Hopefully that has changed."

Season 2?

And this fan wrote: "The human brain is incredible. I convinced myself I was straight for years even though A League of Their Own was my favorite movie growing up and I watched it 12,000 times. And I didn't particularly like any other movie in that genre. Just that one."
