then crosses paths with some juvey cops and later shoots a juvey cop with his own tranq gun (a weapon that does not kill a person, just makes them pass out), and all of this leads to how Nelson is living today, but all that changed on the day the Akron AWOL took him out with his own tranq gun. The text states, “Nearly a year later, he can't get the image of Connor Lassiter out of his mind: that smug, arrogant look on his face as he shot the tranq bullet into Nelson's leg.

The film A League of Their Own can be considered a feminist film that stands for the individual rights, justice and freedom for women. The film depicts women, as strong and independent if need be, yet still capable of being good wives and mothers.
