the MLB Network between Games 2 & 3 of the 2024 World Series, on Sunday, Oct 27 at 8:00 pm ET /5:00 pm PT,</p> <p>The film is directed and produced by acclaimed sports photographer Jean Fruth and produced by Jeff Idelson, former president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. Executive Producers included sports icon and equality champion Billie Jean King, former Milwaukee Brewers President, CEO and Chairman Wendy Selig-Prieb, and Misdee Wrigley Miller, the granddaughter of AAGPBL founder Phil Wrigley. </p> <p>The story follows the lives of seven women baseball stars who are at the pinnacle of their game and represent the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Japan, South Korea, Cuba and Uganda. In the intense battle for the World Cup Championship, they want victory — for themselves, for their team, for their countries, and for the sheer love of the game — but their greatest triumph is the path they are blazing for future generations of female players.</p> <p>“It is time to shine an overdue spotlight on these unsung ‘sheroes’ who are paving the way for the next generation of women athletes,” said Fruth. “It is our hope that with this documentary, and with their example, the message is clear: If they see her, they can dream to one day be her". Jean Fruth</p> <p>The documentary also features Hall of Famers Cal Ripken, Jr., Tony Pérez and Ferguson Jenkins, as well as retired major league superstars Ichiro Suzuki, Chan Ho Park and Jimmy Rollins, all of whom strongly support the women’s game.</p> <p><a href="https://www.grassrootsbaseball.org/seeherbeher">Learn more about the documentary and the companion book.</a> And be sure to watch!</p> </div> <div class="d-none d-lg-block col-lg-1 d-print-none pt-5"> <div class="floatmenu floatmenu--vertical d-print-none"> <a tabindex="0" class="has-popover-menu floatmenu--section-link" data-menu="sections" title="Sections"><i class="fa fa-book fa-3x"></i>Sections</a> <div id="floatmenu--sections" class="d-none d-print-none"> <a href="#section--hero-top" class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-primary btn-block floatmenu-section-link">Top of Article</a></li> </div> <a href="javascript:window.print()" class="floatmenu--print-link"><i class="fa fa-print fa-3x"></i>Print</a> <a tabindex="0" class="has-popover-menu floatmenu--cite-link" data-menu="cite" title="Cite"><i class="fa fa-file-text-o fa-3x"></i>Cite</a> <div id="floatmenu--cite" class="d-none d-print-none"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Title:</label> <h5 class="">See Her Be Her, documentary to premiere on the MLB Network Sunday, Oct 27 at 8:00 pm </h5> <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Author(s):</label> Grassroots Baseball <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Copyright:</label> 2024 <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Publisher:</label> N/A <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Year Published:</label> 2024 <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Website Name:</label> AAGPBL.org <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">URL:</label> http://www.aagpbl.org/articles/show/97 <hr class="my-2"> <label class="font-weight-bold my-1 d-block small">Contributor:</label> Grassroots Baseball </div> <a tabindex="0" class="has-popover-menu floatmenu--social-link" data-menu="social" title="Social Sharing"><i class="fa fa-comments fa-3x"></i>Share</a> <div id="floatmenu--social" class="d-none d-print-none"> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-facebook btn-block icon-left fb-share" href="http://www.aagpbl.org/articles/show/97"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i> Share on Facebook</a><a class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-twitter btn-block icon-left" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=AAGPBL Article: See Her Be Her, documentary to premiere on the MLB Network Sunday, Oct 27 at 8:00 pm &url=http://www.aagpbl.org/articles/show/97&hashtags=AAGPBL,WomansBaseball,WomanMakingHistory"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i> Tweet Me</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <hr> </div> </section> <div id="associations" class="container d-print-none"> </div> <div id="sticky--scroll-to-top"> <div class="d-print-none"> <a href="#" class="scroll-to-top small"><i class="fa fa-arrow-up fa-3x"></i><br>Scroll To Top</a> </div> </div> <div id="footer" class="mt-5 d-print-none"> <div class="top"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="d-none d-sm-block col-sm-2 col-md-1 pt-4 pb-4"> <img alt="All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Players Assoc.
