The show takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the League and outside of it’.
The series will follow the story of the women who formed their own professional baseball league while the nation’s men were fighting in World War II. As one can see in the teaser that the women play baseball, and work on team build and bonding while also, taking care of their home life and odd workplaces in order to train hard and achieve their goal of playing professional baseball.
Apart from the inspirational story of coming together for the love of baseball, Graham and Jacobson decided to expand the topics explored to include racism faced by the players in the league, as well as the stories of lesbian players. They hired a researcher to gather detailed information about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and met with surviving players.
