There are 2 leads really the catcher from small town america and is refered to as farm girl who of course ends up meeting a whole new world leaving her small town and the black girl who can't get on the team due to 1. Being black for the women's team and 2. Being a woman for the local factory team. Both are possibly the least likeable characters. This show isn't really about the 1940s women's baseball league. It's orange is the new black but the setting is baseball with period costumes missing 80% the humor. Most the characters aren't likeable. Movie was better.
