See Her Be Her, a documentary on women’s baseball around the globe, will premiere on the MLB Network between Games 2 & 3 of the 2024 World Series, on Sunday, Oct 27 at 8:00 pm ET /5:00 pm PT,

The film is directed and produced by acclaimed sports photographer Jean Fruth and produced by Jeff Idelson, former president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum.  Executive Producers included sports icon and equality champion Billie Jean King, former Milwaukee Brewers President, CEO and Chairman Wendy Selig-Prieb, and Misdee Wrigley Miller, the granddaughter of AAGPBL founder Phil Wrigley. 

The story follows the lives of seven women baseball stars who are at the pinnacle of their game and represent the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Japan, South Korea, Cuba and Uganda. In the intense battle for the World Cup Championship, they want victory — for themselves, for their team, for their countries, and for the sheer love of the game — but their greatest triumph is the path they are blazing for future generations of female players.

“It is time to shine an overdue spotlight on these unsung ‘sheroes’ who are paving the way for the next generation of women athletes,” said Fruth. “It is our hope that with this documentary, and with their example, the message is clear: If they see her, they can dream to one day be her".  Jean Fruth

The documentary also features Hall of Famers Cal Ripken, Jr., Tony Pérez and Ferguson Jenkins, as well as retired major league superstars Ichiro Suzuki, Chan Ho Park and Jimmy Rollins, all of whom strongly support the women’s game.
