Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television held their premiere event of Prime Video‘s highly anticipated series, A League of Their Own, at the Easton Softball Stadium on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles.

Co-Creators and Executive Producers, Abbi Jacobson and Will Graham introduced the first two episodes of the series which were screened to a packed stadium. Following the screening, cast and attendees enjoyed a reception on the field which included batting cages, a digital dugout photo booth, music by DJ Sterling Victorian, and a 1940s dessert truck.

A League of Their Own will premiere all eight episodes exclusively on Prime Video on Friday, August 12 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. A League of Their Own evokes the joyful spirit of Penny Marshall’s beloved classic while widening the lens to tell the story of an entire generation of women who dreamed of playing professional baseball. The show takes a deeper look at race and sexuality, following the journey of a whole new ensemble of characters as they carve their own paths towards the field, both in the league and outside of it.
