What I Learned: From 'A League of Their Own'

Today, a beautiful thing happened: A League of Their Own started streaming on Netflix. It was immediately clear to me how I should be spending my afternoon...

Here's what I learned:

• Girls can do anything boys can do
• Tom Hanks is fantastic
• There's no crying in baseball

• You can be hardcore and a lady
• Defy people's expectations
• Apparently, playing baseball in short skirts is doable

• Geena Davis is a giant
• Be loyal to your girlfriends
• Do Not bring a little kid on a bus tour
• 1990s cinema was a bad time for flashbacks and flash-forwards
• I'm constantly reminded of how much I love Hot Dogs & Beer
• I'm constantly reminded of how much I love Tom Hanks
• Men should start wearing straw hats again
• Dutsy pink and maroon is a great color combo
• Anthems should be played on a ukulele 
• Madonna can do anything

• Never underestimate the joy that pastimes bring
• Poisoning a chaperone can lead to positive results
• Look out for your mates
• A Rockford Peaches uniform would be a great Halloween costume
