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.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
