Say It, Phans, and Wear It: There's No Crying in Baseball

Just in time for the World Series, Vintage Blue, the Philadelphia-based clothing line of retro-themed women's sportswear, has begun selling t-shirts in the 1970s and '80s Phillies powder blue with the classic A League of Their Own line "There's No Crying In Baseball." It's available in men's and women's styles, and if you enter the code word "gophillies" at checkout, you get five bucks off.

Vintage Blue holds the exclusive license to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, whose story was told, of course, in A League of Their Own. What makes League such a terrific baseball movie is its obvious respect for the game, regardless of who's playing it.
