I Revisited 'A League Of Their Own' Now That I Have Daughters

Recently, Amber Leventry was digging through their garage for sports equipment, when a hockey stick hit them in the head and they growled a classic movie line that I promise you'll recognize: "Are you crying? There's no crying! There's no crying in baseball!"

But their kids had no idea what they were talking about, and so it was time for a movie night: "My son groaned because he always resists watching anything over 40 minutes long (even though playing Fortnite for two hours at a time is fine). But my daughters — 12 and 9 and the more athletic and competitive of the three — were very interested. As I pulled out our mitts and a ball so we could play catch, I explained the premise of the movie. Once I confirmed that the movie was not made in the 40s but the 90s, which is still 'a long time ago' according to my kids, the girls were in."

So how's this classic hold up? Amber's got great news; you'll want to hear it.
