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.

TikToker Elise Carlin hopped into an Uber on the way to the airport, and the driver played music, which is pretty par for the course. But she soon realized this wasn't just any music! No, this was AI-generated, and each song was personalized with her name inserted into it.

Capitol Officer Who Witnessed Jan. 6 Insurrection Goes Viral With Tweet About LA Protests

Staff Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, who lived through the January 6 insurrection and later testified before Congress, criticized President Donald Trump's demand to "bring in the troops" amid ongoing protests in Los Angeles against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's immigration raids.

Gonell testified after the attack that he and his fellow officers "were punched, pushed, kicked, shoved, sprayed with chemical irritants and even blinded with eye-damaging lasers by a violent mob who apparently saw us law enforcement officers, dedicated to ironically protecting them as U.S. citizens, as an impediment in their attempted insurrection."
