The Cast Of 'A League Of Their Own' Just Reunited—And There's Definitely Crying In Baseball
Columbia Pictures

Several of the film's stars—including Rosie O'Donnell, Geena Davis, and Lori Petty—recently reunited with their Rockford Peaches team for the 2024 Chicago Sports Spectacular.

The Rockford Peaches are back!

On Nov. 24, the cast of A League of Their Own reunited at the Chicago Sports Spectacular. Stars Geena Davis, Lori Petty, and Rosie O’Donnell gathered at the Donald Stephens Convention Center to meet fans, sign memorabilia, and celebrate the 1992 classic.


Davis and Petty, who played sisters Dottie Hinson and Kit Keller, were joined by castmates like Bitty Schram (Evelyn Gardner), Megan Cavanagh (Marla Hooch), and Tracy Reiner (Betty "Spaghetti" Horn). Even Ellie Weingardt, who appeared as the film’s charm school instructor, participated.

While Tom Hanks and Madonna were absent, the reunion in Chicago was perfect, as the real-life Rockford Peaches represented Illinois in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

O’Donnell also revealed she’s kept in touch with Justin Scheller, who played Evelyn’s son Stillwell Angel, saying she helped coach him through scenes during filming.

Rosie O’Donnell shared a group photo on Instagram, writing, “the rockford peaches 2024.”

People were so happy about the reunion, as it is many folks' favorite movie.

President Donald Trump was widely roasted after he stepped out on Saturday in something other than his usual suit and tie following his bizarrely chummy meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Trump isn't the world's snappiest dresser; he's known for wearing ill-fitting suits and his hair is often unkempt (and don't get us started on his orange makeup).

Marketing in today's day and age can be tricky. It's never been easy to break through the noise in advertising, but today's marketers are competing with people at the top of their game.

Residents of Santa Monica, California, were met with an unusual sight earlier this week when a bus full of people dressed as Homer Simpson poured into the streets. The visit appeared to be part of a promotional stunt for the newly launched “Fortnite x Simpsons” season of the popular online game, whose recent update introduced a Springfield-themed island.

It's arguably even easier to rush to judgment about celebrities, whether or not this was something done consciously in front of fans or viewers on television or social media, or in a candid moment when they didn't know they were being watched or recorded.
