Reporter Mary Wallace enjoyed the reunion of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. So much so, she produced a three part series on the league. She focused on the players from California. The series came about because of Kelly Candaele and Kim Wilson. Kelly was fascinated that his mother played in the league. And at her advanced age, she could still play. When Kelly and Kim met Mary Wallace, their fascination with the league grew.

Kim Wilson spent five years going through vintage reels and collected players memories. ABC station KCET agreed to air the series. The station sent Kelly and Kim to the reunion of the league in Indiana. Mary Wallace went along to conduct interviews.

Kelly and Kim's documentary series was called ' A League Of Their Own'. The documentary was full of stories and nostalgia. In March, it aired on KCET. In September, it aired on PBS. Because of the success of the documentary, Kelly and Kim began to write a script treatment.

One day, Kelly and Kim heard from Charlie Wessler. Penny wanted to see the script treatment for ' A League Of Their Own'.
