What is it, in summary?: A show about US women in the 1940s playing professional baseball, to help keep the country's morale up while most of the men are at war. Loosely based on the 90s film of the same name and on real historical events.
What do you love about it?: It's gay. So gay. No, more than you're thinking.
Our main characters are Carson Shaw (a white woman who is taking advantage of her husband being at war to run off and play baseball) and Max Campbell (a black woman who just wants someone to give her a chance to show what she can do). Their lives keep intersecting, as they both keep growing and changing as people. But it's also about Carson's romance with her teammate Greta Gill, about Max reconnecting with her trans uncle, and about all the players becoming a family, if only for one season.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Femslash. Future fic.
