Description | Officials in the Illinois city home to the women's baseball team that inspired the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" want to help fund a $7 million museum honoring the role of women in the sport's history. The museum, hall of fame and training facility will be located near the stadium where the Rockford Peaches played in the 1940s and 1950s as part of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The first phase of the project will build an outdoor pavilion with monuments that resemble baseball cards and honor women involved in the sport. The first exhibit will be dedicated to Penny Marshall, who directed the film starring Tom Hanks and Geena Davis. It's expected to be unveiled in September. The center will announce and unveil eight more exhibits. Per the owner, as of April 14, 2022, this project is in the planning phase. An architect has not been selected. A firm timeline for construction has not been determined. |
