Prime Video is honoring the fierce female trailblazers who defied conventional society by pursuing their passions to be professional baseball players with the premiere of A League of Their Own on August 12. To celebrate the launch of the new series, Prime Video gathered an impressive group of athletes that dismantle the typical gender boundaries of sports to play ball and pen a letter to future young female baseball players.
Following the first pitch that was thrown by Maybelle Blair to Abbi Jacobson, the teams faced off on the diamond with professional softball players, Haley Cruse Mitchell, Rachel Garcia, Paige Halstead all playing ball. They were joined by Kelsie Whitmore, the first woman to appear in the starting lineup of an Atlantic League baseball game, and Olympians, Amy Rodriguez, Ilona Maher, Tamyra Mensah Stock and Ibtihaj Muhammad, along with other inspiring athletes.
