‘A League of Their Own’ Actress to Make Stop in Dubois County
Fans of the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" will be able to meet Megan Cavanagh (aka Marla Hooch) at an upcoming Dubois County Bombers game. "There's no crying in baseball!"

I've seen this movie more times than I can count, and it's safe to say it's one of my favorite films from the 1990s. Not only does the film tell an incredible story, but it also includes an A-list cast featuring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna, and several others. The film holds even more meaning for Hoosiers, as portions of it were shot in Huntingburg, Indiana.
