“I have an idea for a sequel. I’m trying to see if I can happen before I’m too old,” Davis told US Weekly this week. “It would be called Little League of Their Own. The woman that my character is based on in that movie, her son grew up to be a major-league ballplayer. I’m sure it was her that taught him how to play.”
