"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it."

The classic words from Coach Jimmy Duggan (played by Tom Hanks, of course) in A League of Their Own can be applied to both playing baseball and maintaining relationships with former movie costars for 24 years.

The cast of the 1992 baseball movie found their footing back on the diamond for a reunion last Sunday in Bentonville, Arkansas, for the town's annual film festival.

Geena Davis, who played Dottie Hinson in the film, led the festival, which supported female and diverse voices in media.

And what a better way to honor women and film than getting a little dusty and joining your old baseball teammates for a game? 

Sadly, Tom Hanks was not present to give tough love and motivation to players. And Madonna? Well, Madonna probably has other things going on.
