There’s No Crying in Baseball. But There Is Crying Knowing That This Classic IS Leaving Netflix.
One of the greatest sports movies of all time is now streaming… but not for long. 1992’s A League of Their Own will be leaving Netflix on Sunday, March 1st.
A League of Their Own is far from the only film to be leaving that platform on that date, with other titles including both Amazing Spider-Man films, both Ace Ventura films, Braveheart, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Pulp Fiction, The Wolf of Wall Street, and 1998’s Godzilla. So, if you are a Netflix subscriber with immediate plans to watch (or rewatch) the adventures of the Rockford Peaches, you only have a few more days left to do so.
Directed by Penny Marshall, A League of Their Own is a fictionalized account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which rose up during World War II. Based on the 1987 TV documentary of the same name, it follows an ensemble cast of women who join the Rockford Peaches, a team in Illinois that becomes a massive hit in the league… and an inspiration for women everywhere. The films stars Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O’Donnell, Anne Ramsay, Megan Cavanagh, Jon Lovitz, David Strathairn, Garry Marshall, Tea Leoni, and Bill Pullman.
A League of Their Own became a massive hit at the box office upon its debut, grossing $132.4 million worldwide, and bringing the line “there’s no crying in baseball!” into the cultural lexicon ever since.
Why Did the A League of Their Own TV Show Get Cancelled?
Of course, the title A League of Their Own has lived on since the initial 1992 film, thanks to a live-action TV remake of it that debuted on Prime Video in 2022. The series boasted an ensemble cast that included Broad City‘s D’Arcy Carden (who co-created the series alongside Will Graham), as well as Chanté Adams, Roberta Colindrez, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Kelly McCormack, and Nick Offerman.
The A League of Their Own show became a hit with fans, particularly for its positive queer representation. Despite previously being renewed for a second season, Amazon reversed their decision and scrapped the series in August of 2023, after that summer’s Hollywood strikes had delayed work on the new episodes.
“I know what the end was,” Carden explained to Collider in a 2025 interview. “Abbi took me through what the end of the season would look like. When it was sort of presented like a shortened season, that was sort of even a question. Do we even want to do that? Is that too short? When Abbi told me what it would look like, I was like, “We have to do it. It’s too good. That has to be wrapped up in this way. That would be so fulfilling to us as actors, to the fans of the show, who put so much love and energy into it, that deserve the period at the end of the sentence instead of the dot, dot, dot.” Meaning I do have a little bit of closure because I kind of know where the characters end up at, but that’s not fair for everybody else.”
“I think the story is worth telling, and it’s up to Abbi,” Carden continued. “However, she wants to do that, whether it’s, I don’t know, a book, a graphic novel, or a movie for other actors 15 years from now, a reading. I would be down. Love those girls so much. That was a special time with special actors, and we really all fell in love with each other pretty hard.”
As mentioned above, A League of Their Own will be leaving Netflix on Sunday, March 1st.
