A League of Their Own: Where are they now?

To honor Amazon Prime's 2022 adaptation series based on one of Hollywood's most beloved baseball comedies, let's catch up with the stars of 1992's A League of Their Own, then and now.

Then: Early in his film career, Hanks joined A League of Their Own as baseball manager Jimmy Dugan. He took on the part of the Peaches' questionable leader after making appearances in Dragnet (1987), Big (1988), and Joe Versus the Volcano (1990). The role gave Hanks the opportunity to drop the unforgettable wisdom that "There's no crying in baseball," and led to his famed turn in the following year's Sleepless in Seattle.

Now: The beloved star's career only took off from there. Just a few years after League, Hanks took home Oscars for his starring turns in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, and spent 1995 bringing the character of Woody to the big screen in Toy Story and playing Jim Lovell in Apollo 13. The decades since have included Oscar-nominated roles in Saving Private Ryan (1998), Cast Away (2000), and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019), and landed major gigs in Captain Phillips (2013), Saving Mr. Banks (2013), The Post (2017), Greyhound (2020), Finch (2021), and Elvis (2022).

Then: Geena Davis led the baseball comedy as Dottie Hinson, a small town woman who becomes a big league star. Davis played the team's catcher after getting an early start on television. She spent the '80s picking up gigs on Buffalo Bill, Sara, and Family Ties, before landing her now-famed role as Thelma in 1991's Thelma & Louise.

Now: After hanging up her catcher's glove, Davis chased her Olympic dreams in 1999, competing to place on the U.S. team for archery. While she fell short of reaching the acclaimed international stage, the actress had more than enough projects to fill her schedule. She starred on the short-lived Geena Davis Show on ABC in 2000, played the president on the network's Commander in Chief a few years later, made her debut in a talked-about arc on Grey's Anatomy in 2014, and shined in season 3 of Netflix's GLOW in 2019. She also established the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, focusing on equality in representation.

Then: Tennessee native Lori Petty took on the role of Oregon dairy farmer Kit Keller for A League of Their Own. She played the sister to Davis' Dottie, offering the spitfire drive to the Peaches before she's traded to the Racine Belles. Petty came into the gig with a few previous credits to her name, including TV cameos on The Twilight Zone (1986), The Thorns (1988), and Booker (1989), and big-screen appearances in Cadillac Man (1990) and Point Break (1991).

Now: Just months after she stepped off the field, Petty charmed as Rae in Free Willy (1993), going on to appear in Tank Girl (1995), and star in, write, and direct the drama The Poker House (2008). She is, however, best known for her television work, playing inmate Lolly Whitehill on Netflix's Orange Is the New Black and Sarah on the HBO Max miniseries Station Eleven.

Then: In the midst of her pop career, Madonna picked up a bat to play center fielder Mae Mordabito. The famed singer brought the retired taxi dancer to the Peaches' diamond, picking up one of her most successful acting projects. Her previous film credits included a turn as Susan in Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), and roles in Shanghai Surprise (1986) and Who's That Girl (1987). She was already a well-established performer when League hit theaters with four studio albums to her name.

Now: Madge continued to act in the years that followed, appearing in Body of Evidence and Dangerous Game in 1993, and famously starring in the '96 flick Evita. While Madonna's roles have dwindled in recent years, her singing career continued with a vengeance. She has released 10 original albums since 1992, seeing particular commercial success with her 1998 project, Ray of Light. She picked up six more Grammys during that time, also busying herself with world tours.

Then: Then a rising star still making a name for herself, Rosie O'Donnell nabbed the role of Doris Murphy, the Peaches' third baseperson. She had just two acting projects to her name at the time: the role of Maggie on Gimme a Break! from 1986 to 1987, and an arc as Lorraine on Stand by Your Man. She spent the years prior largely focusing on her comedy work, competing on Star Search in the mid-'80s.

Now: League was just the beginning for Rosie, who soon hit the level of stardom that requires only one name. She starred in Sleepless in Seattle (1993), The Flintstones (1994), and Now and Then (1995), before she kicked off The Rosie O'Donnell Show in 1996. After the gig wrapped in 2002, she made mid-2000s television appearances on Queer as Folk, Nip/Tuck, and Drop Dead Diva. In the 2010s, she returned to the talk show stage with both The Rosie Show and The View. However, she continues racking up TV credits, with appearances on I Know This Much Is True, The L Word: Generation Q, Russian Doll, and the 2022 adaptation series of A League of Their Own.

Then: Megan Cavanagh made her big-screen debut as second baseperson Marla Hooch. She had a memorable turn as the daughter of a baseball coach, reprising the role on the short-lived A League of Their Own spin-off series on CBS.

Now: Cavanagh is still perhaps most associated with the role of Marla. Following the 1993 end of the TV series, she starred in I Love Trouble and Junior in 1994, and played Luisa — a former classmate of Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Monica's (Courteney Cox) who works in Animal Control — in a 1995 episode of Friends. Her film projects in the years since include That Darn Cat (1997), Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001), Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005), Girltrash: All Night Long (2014), and Freelancers Anonymous (2018).

Then: League found its Betty Spaghetti in actress Tracy Reiner, daughter of A League of Their Own director Penny Marshall. She came into the role of the Peaches' left fielder after appearing on Laverne & Shirley in the late '70s, and starring in Big (1988) and Die Hard (1988), When Harry Met Sally (1989), and making a cameo in Pretty Woman (1990).

Now: Reiner played Betty once more for the spin-off series, going on to reunite with Hanks in Apollo 13 (1995) and That Thing You Do! (1996). Her later roles include appearances in The Princess Diaries (2000), Riding in Cars With Boys (2001), Raising Helen (2004), and Valentine's Day (2010).

Then: In the second role of her career, Bitty Schram played Evelyn Gardner, the team's quiet right fielder. Her character made further contributions to the Peaches by writing the team's song, but was shown to have passed away at the end of the movie when the women reunite as adults.

Now: While League is still one of Schram's most famous gigs, she had a busy run in the '90s with roles in Chasers (1994), The Pallbearer (1996), Marvin's Room (1996), One Fine Day (1996), and Kissing a Fool (1998). Her recent work has largely been on the small screen, including a part as Sharona on Monk in the 2000s, and a 2009 cameo on Ghost Whisperer.

Then: The sister of John and Joan Cusack, Ann Cusack joined A League of Their Own as Shirley Baker. She played the illiterate left fielder in her first onscreen role.

Now: Cusack continued to act throughout the '90s, making small screen appearances on Love & War, Murder, She Wrote, The Jeff Foxworthy Show, and Maggie. She also reunited with Petty for Tank Girl (1995), starred in The Birdcage (1996), and then acted alongside her brother John in Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). In the years since, Cusack played Susan on Private Practice from 2009 to 2011, had five-episode arcs on Better Call Saul and Castle Rock, and landed a recurring role as Donna January on The Boys.

Then: First baseperson Helen was portrayed by Anne Ramsay. She played the young woman with baseball dreams after picking up late '80s television gigs on Mr. Belvedere and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Now: The same year League hit theaters, Ramsay made her debut as Lisa on Mad About You. She kept the role for seven years during the show's original run — and revived it for the 2019 reboot series — going on to appear in Woman on Top (2000) and Planet of the Apes (2001). Ramsay returned to television in the mid-2000s with The L Word, Six Feet Under, and Dexter. In 2010, she began her role as Nora on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, appeared on Hart of Dixie as Winifred Wilkes from 2014 to 2015, and played the supporting role of Gwen Kimbreau on NBC's Ordinary Joe. 

Then: Jon Lovitz played Ernie Capadino, a leader for the women's league who finds players across the country. He came into the role after spending five years as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and picking up comedic roles in ¡Three Amigos! (1986) and Big (1988).

Now: Lovitz played Ernie in one episode of the movie's spin-off series, going on to appear in Matilda in 1996 and hit television on The Critic, Friends, Just Shoot Me!, and Las Vegas. The funnyman's work also includes voice acting in the Hotel Transylvania films and on The Simpsons, onscreen gigs in Grown Ups 2 (2013) and Mother's Day (2016), and TV appearances on New Girl, Hawaii Five-0, and Space Force.

Then: Bill Pullman joined the cast as Dottie's husband Bob Hinson, a member of the military who has been serving overseas. Before playing Bob, Pullman hit the big screen in Spaceballs (1987), Sibling Rivalry (1990), and Newsies (1992).

Now: Pullman starred with Hanks once more in Sleepless in Seattle(1993), also appearing in While You Were Sleeping (1995), Casper (1995), Independence Day (1996), and Lake Placid (1999). In the years since, Pullman has starred in Cymbeline (2014), The Equalizer (2014) and its 2018 sequel, Battle of the Sexes (2017), Dark Waters (2019), and The High Note (2020). He's also had series regular roles as President Dale Gilchrist on 1600 Penn from 2012 to 2013 and as Harry Ambrose on The Sinner from 2017 to 2021.
