The eight-parter follows Carson and Max as they try out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1943, but Max quickly understands, as so many non-white former AAGPBL players discovered, that rampant sexism is the tip of the iceberg.

When non-white players were deemed to not be "American" enough to take part, and growing the fanbase was a matter of wearing more makeup and less clothes, simply being able to step up to the plate required great fortune and the thickest of skin. If the powers that were had an inkling about the sexual revolution that was taking root behind closed doors, they might have shut it down before it even started. 

Abbi Jacobson, who co-created the series and plays Carson, has pitched it as an expansion of the film rather than a remake, with an entirely new group of characters who pick up where Dottie and Kit left off.

May their feet be swift, may their bats be mighty, and may their balls be plentiful! Read on below for our guide detailing how to watch A League of Their Own online, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
