RIP Penny Marshall. The scene in A League Of Her Own where the black woman throws the ball from the stands was so important as a kid growing up. We all knew it what it meant and most director’s wouldn’t have included it. That’s why she was one of the best. #RIPPennyMarshall

Imagine A League Of Their Own sequel that starts with the scene of the black woman throwing the ball back from the stands and you stay with her and it becomes a biopic on the 3 black women that played in the Negro Leagues (Toni Stone, Mami "Peanut" Johnson & Connie Morgan). pic.twitter.com/iFkKMo17en
