The TVI Take

Penny Marshall's 1992 World-War-II-era All-American Girls Professional Baseball League film anchored by Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, and Rosie O'Donnell. The structural commitment to letting period-women-in-sports cultural-cognitive material be rendered with sports-procedural-and-character-ensemble scope is canonical Hanks early-1990s transitional work.

The 'There's no crying in baseball' line is canonical Hanks line-delivery.
