Despite what a recent Esquire ranking has to say about the matter, the best movie about baseball is not Bull Durham, and it's definitely not their runner-up, Moneyball. Hands-down, it's A League of Their Own, the 1992 film based on the real-life Rockford Peaches and the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Remember when Dottie catches the fastball? Or Jimmy and Dottie's sign-off? And of course, the famous quote, "There's no crying in baseball!" It's hard to improve on perfection, but Broad City's Abbi Jacobson along with writer Will Graham are reportedly adapting the film into a television series for Amazon. Here's what we know so far.It will be a "modern take" on the film.Per Variety, this won't be a straight adaptation of the plot of the 1992 film. Rather, "It is not expected to feature characters from the original, but will follow a new version of the Rockford Peaches during the first season of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1943."There's no way the cast will live up to the original.At least, it will be difficult to try to replicate. One can hardly imagine how a team including Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Tom Hanks, Lori Petty, and Geena Davis (among other standouts) came together in the first place. No casting details have been announced yet, but we'll be sure to update when we know more.No premiere date has been set.In fact, a deal hasn't even signed on the show quite yet, according to Variety, "but a mini-writers room is believed to be in place, ready to work on scripts."This won't be the first attempt at an adaptation.In 1993 a sitcom based on the film aired on CBS, but was canceled after five episodes. The pilot is 23 minutes long and available on YouTube, if you're so inclined.
