1992 “A League of Their Own” Multi-Signed One Sheet Poster

A League of Their Own: A Tribute to Women in Baseball

An Iconic Piece of Cinematic and Sporting History

Step into the world of baseball history with an extraordinary piece of memorabilia: a movie poster from the 1992 film A League of Their Own. This film, which celebrates the pioneering women of baseball, was inspired by the Baseball Hall of Fame’s 1988 exhibit dedicated to women in the sport. The exhibit’s opening on November 5, 1988, marked the genesis of this beloved movie, which has since become a cultural touchstone.

Signatures of Legends

What makes this poster truly exceptional are the signatures it bears. Written in black ink, the poster is inscribed with “From the All Americans A League of Their Own,” penned by an unknown hand. It is further adorned with the signatures of five legendary players from the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL):

• Dorothy “Dottie” Kamenshek: Rockford Peaches 1st Base 1943-51, 1953 HOF 11-5-88
