In a small town in Oregon, farm girls Dottie Hinson and Kit Keller are sisters who compete with each other, even over the little things. With so many young men overseas fighting the Axis, there is a danger that professional baseball will be shut down for the duration of the war. A well-known candy manufacturer, Walter Harvey, contrives the idea to create a professional baseball league for women; both the keep the sport alive and to make a buck or two. Dottie is recruited by a scout for this new league but refuses to go unless her sister is allowed on the team. These women, along with their team-mates, begin a journey that opens up a whole new world, far beyond that of the baseball diamond, lead by team manager, Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up star ruined by alcohol and angered and embarrassed to be the coach of a girl's team.

In celebration of the film's 30th anniversary and, presumably, the beginning of the 2017 baseball season, Sony has re-released the popular 'A League of Their Own' to Blu-ray. The disc includes one new supplement, a trailer that wasn't on the old disc, and a UV digital copy code. Otherwise, it's identical to the previous 20th Anniversary release. See the 'Supplements' section below for more on the new extra.

This re-release of A League of Their Own contains one new supplement, marked as such below and reviewed. A UV digital copy voucher is
included with purchase. For reviews of the other supplements, please click here.
This new release offers no reason for previous owners to upgrade. The one new supplement is fine but hardly worth the cost. Newcomers to the film on Blu-ray should obviously opt for this version, but otherwise, skip it.
