In 1943, as the Pacific War intensified, most of the young and middle-aged people in the United States were conscripted into the army and were involved in the earth-shattering war in human history.
And among them, there are also some Major League Baseball players.
So, the owner of the club slammed his head and thought: Since the men are gone, then let the women go on!
In this way, the first baseball league game that broke American records and was composed entirely of women forced "business" amid people's ridicule.
Among all the major league teams, the Peach team is recognized as the one that will be beaten.
The players were unusually sober, they all felt that they could not reach the final, and they were drunk all day, shuttling through the red, red, green and green entertainment venues.
But adhering to it, anyway, it will not play the second cauldron, you compete with me in the arena, and the peach team actually fights every game to death...
As a result, unexpectedly, the girls broke into third place.
Then, the Peach coach, who had no hopes, made his ultimate killer move: in order to reach the final, all the team members had to change into miniskirts!
How do you say this? Most likely, the skill level of the team members is simply too much to look at, the skirt is shorter, and maybe you can give it a shot.
The meaning could not be clearer, this is clearly the coach underestimating people, of course, he is more afraid of losing the game than them, and his reputation is ruined.
That night, the coach picked the picks, packed his bags, and disappeared...
The coach ran away, but the next game burned his eyebrows...
There was no way, everyone had to unanimously recommend Kashan, a team member, as a coach.
Some team members were not convinced: You are a rural fire-burning girl, why should you command us?
Next, Kasan arranged for the team to conduct daily training, with Lupe as a bowler and everyone practicing pitching together.
Lupe did not give a good face, decided to embarrass her, and openly provoked: I don't believe this dead woman, and you shouldn't believe her!
Kashan winced, did not dare to refute, crouched down, just hugged the headache and cried.
Lupe's purpose was achieved, Kassan's cry, the team members were completely crazy!
Shouting, simply disband the team!
The game is about to begin...
However, the Peach team was leaderless, and the members of the team made a mess of what tasks they had and what tactics they used.
On the field, seeing that the opponent frequently scored, Kashan borrowed courage from nowhere, urgently suspended the game, and decided to readjust the team.
However, before Kasan could speak, the team members had an idea in the east and an idea in the west, spitting fragrance into each other's mouths, and even their mothers invited them out, far more lively than a play.
Kasan tried to dissuade, but Lupe didn't give her a chance at all, and angrily said: I don't want to be called by hillbillies!
Kasan stared at Lupe's blackened face, not letting ...
A life-and-death battle is inevitable.
In the arena, two young women scuffled together, the spring light was leaking, and outside the arena, the dirty whistles of the melon-eating masses were overwhelming.
The next day, the scandal of Kasan and Lupe's fight in the arena made headlines...
The boss was furious, and after landing his big hand heavily on the table, he roared: The Peach team disbanded!
In 2022, an American drama "Their Union" with 8 episodes was put on the screen, and it is incredible that shortly after its release, the show scored 9.2 points on the Douban platform, with the highest five-star praise, about 65%.
The play is adapted from the 1992 movie "Red Pink League", telling the inspirational story of the first women's professional baseball team after the first batch of women's professional baseball teams were not favored at the beginning and finally swept the United States after the American men's professional league players were conscripted into the army during World War II.
However, few people know that when the play was released, there was also an episode.
When the title of the play was first translated, the copyright party still adopted the name of the film version "Red Pink Alliance", and later changed it to "Their Alliance" at the strong request of netizens.
It seems to be a word difference, but it is the first step to crack people's conservative thinking about women.
Obviously, the results were not as the men expected, and they couldn't even believe that a group of women could play baseball so brilliantly.
As we all know, due to the impact of the two world wars, countries have a serious shortage of male labor, and in order to restore the economy, factories and even sports leagues have had to absorb a large number of women.
Therefore, no one in that era could have imagined what kind of historical mission they would undertake, but they never let the world down.
At the scene of the new recruits of the Peach team, the girls who have always been willowy waist flowers, when they saw the baseball game, they were so excited that they ran around the field and shouted: I have come to heaven!
In the traditional view, they thought that if they wanted to be a good professional baseball player, it was nothing more than practicing their hitting skills and doing a good job of teamwork.
However, their happiness did not last long, and they were tightly strangled by the staid housemaster, unable to breathe:
1. Girls should look like girls, and they should not behave like beasts in public;
2. Groups must wear dresses and pants when they go out, and violators will be fined;
3. When going out, you are not allowed to smoke and drink, and the door is closed at 10 pm.
If you just make these requests, it will be too pediatric, yes, the club threw out a fierce trick the next day, and professional physical teachers, etiquette teachers, and makeup artists were all in place.
And those who do not obey the arrangement have only two words: dismissal; And the body, etiquette, makeup can not be completed, still two words: expulsion!
High heels, lipstick, dresses, have become the standard three-piece set for women, as if without one of them, they cannot be defined as women.
In the end, they can only be pleasing to themselves, becoming fragile items for others to play, and as for sweating like rain, they have nothing to do with them.
The remaining members of the Peach team finally broke through the sea of knife fire before the game, but what awaited them was wearing a pink short skirt to participate in the competition, proper female characteristics.
Even before the game, the staff in charge of managing the dormitory should deliberately put on a line, and tell you to show a sweet smile to the audience when you win, remember to put on lipstick, and don't do indecent movements!
I'm afraid, the whole world doesn't know, they are women!
On the other hand, the name of the women's baseball team, "Peach", is not difficult to see how men define them with colored eyes.
The club owners don't care if they win the game or not, but find ways to use the eyeballs of beauty to make a lot of money.
Young, pretty, sexy, that's enough, as for the quality of the game, don't care.
And public opinion is undoubtedly undoubtedly out of the dust, and the women's baseball team has been fiercely attacked by local headlines: Baseball, will it make this group of women lose their femininity?
As the saying goes, life is like a drama, off-screen, I am afraid it is difficult to imagine what the female professional baseball players of that era experienced.
Their "sportswear" is carefully designed, whether fat, thin or tall, the position where everyone's skirt falls must be controlled at a distance of more than 15 cm from the knee.
Because there is no protection without any protective measures, and it is inevitable to bump and bump during the game, their thighs are often bruised and purple.
And when the athlete raises his leg and swings the bat, running and sprinting, the range of movement is very large, and he will run out if he is not careful.
Then, at this time, it gives the provocative an excellent opportunity, and it is common to be verbally sexually harassed in front of everyone.
In the play, team member Greta looks atmospheric and sweet, and is a good player in playing.
When it was her turn to play, the scum in suits behind her opened their mouths disgustingly:
Beauty, what is the size of your chest cups;
If you want to date me, you have to shake your ass;
Baby, you're going to stare at my balls;
Give me a little more flying kiss and I can comfort you;
In the face of such rumors, it is estimated that it is difficult for the immortals to do anything, and Greta did not play at the level of training at all, and regretted to be out.
Even so, Greta was slashed out by the management: you have to laugh more in the arena, don't be too strong!
The outside world discriminated, the coach ran away, and the forced language harassment, but the players were stunned to overcome all the difficulties and successfully counterattacked.
Before coming, they exchanged a "unfriendly" meal, and after the game, they cheered with their salaries: I can still hold on!
Sometimes, we may not understand what strikeouts, stealing bases, and home runs are, but we can feel the noble sportsmanship of their opponents in the face of disparity in strength, biting their opponents point by point, fighting for the last ounce of strength, despite defeat.
They trust each other and work hand in hand until they reach the end.
Subsequently, those spectators who had only wanted to see their skirts gradually turned their attention to their superb ball skills, winning cheers from the audience!
They have proved with practical actions that women can be looked down upon and wronged, but they will not choose to give up, let alone fail lightly!
When their strength is too small to resist the harsh rules set by men, they accumulate.
While wearing a short skirt to compete professionally, he catered to men's low-class tastes with a "three-piece suit".
However, these are not submissives or compromises.
Rather, rise!
For example, every time McQuad does not wear a skirt as required, but wears pants and goes out, he will obediently pay a fine to the obedient and carry out silent resistance.
For example, Kashan, who has just acted as coach, uses the method of imitating the voice and pace of the previous coach in order to establish majesty and ease management in the Peach team.
But awkward body movements can only backfire, making the team hate her more and more.
Later, Kasan decisively gave up that strange behavior and won everyone's recognition with his unique affinity.
It's not so much that Kashan found herself, but that it was Eju who overcame rigidity from women.
Now, 80 years after 1943, has the situation improved?
It doesn't seem to be.
In 2020, at the Tokyo Olympics, Olympic athlete Gong Lijiao won the first gold medal in women's athletics for China.
But a reporter said dismissively: "You are a female man, when do you plan to be a girl?" I think you can wrestle your boyfriend's wrists. ”
As the world pitching champion, Gong Lijiao ignored everyone's eyes and spent 21 years deliberately gaining weight, only to achieve a breakthrough of zero.
However, this reporter's words are just concerned with listening to her private feelings, this is not a stereotype, what is it?
Gong Lijiao
In 2019, as an Asian, Zhang Weili won the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Women's World Championship for the first time, which is the pride of Chinese and the pride of Asians.
However, in the face of such an excellent world athlete, the reporters' more gossip is: "You boxing so well, will you abuse your husband?" ”
First praise them by men's standards, and then measure them by women's "three-piece", which is wrong?
Fighting queen Zhang Weili
They, ten years of sharpening a sword, sweating like rain, just to defeat one difficult opponent after another, as a result, a few understatement nonsense, "have a boyfriend", "when do you plan to get married", pushed them to another abyss.
Full of sexism, stereotypes of women, should it?
Even, there are good deeds who put some malicious and slanderous words on the Internet for fermentation, and they don't have the motivation to die in the heart of the Yellow River, okay?
How many years have passed, and throughout the history of women's sports around the world, unfair treatment like this still exists.
"The road is long, and I will seek it up and down!"
Yes, there is no other way!
Only for your life, honor, and future, do your best until you win...
In order to let the whole world appreciate the unique style of women.
