Who's in the cast of the 'A League of Their Own' reboot?
A League of Their Own was set during World War II and followed a fictionalized version of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Due to many professional athletes being drafted in the war, the all-female league was created to provide entertainment for sports fans.
At this time, it has not been confirmed if any of the OG stars, such as Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, or Geena Davis will make an appearance in the reboot.
But, Parks and Recreation fans will see a familiar face.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Nick Offerman has been cast as "Casey "Dove" Porter, an ex-Cubs pitcher brought in to coach the Rockford Peaches. "Porter is famous because his forkball killed a dove in mid-air in the middle of a game," per the outlet.
The character, a former MLB star who unfortunately blew out his arm, has been described as "inspiring and charismatic," and is hoping to make his comeback in sports by turning the Rockford Peaches into champions.
The reboot's cast will also include Abbi Jacobson, Chanté Adams, D'Arcy Carden, Melanie Field, Molly Ephraim, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Roberta Colindrez, Kelly McCormack, Priscilla Delgado, and Kate Berlant.

Another wrote, "So when I [heard] that Amazon is making a series reboot of A League of Their Own, I was concerned, the movie was so damn good. But when I [heard that] Nick Offerman has signed onto the project..."

"Such a great movie and they are going to turn it into woke 2021 Hollywood Trash... guarantee," this fan tweeted. "Why can't we see new stories on film anymore? Surely there HAS to be another story we could be watching."
