Jacobson, who also co-created theA League of Their Ownseries with Will Graham, mused about honoring the stories of LGBTQ women of the 1940s and having All-American Girls Professional Baseball League alumMaybelle Blairas a consultant on the show, before shecame out publicly at age 95during the Tribeca Film Festival in June.
“So much research went into it,” she said. “But Maybelle’s point of view, specifically on the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League experience, what that was like to play baseball at the time, what it was like to be a queer woman in the league, was pretty important for some of the stories we were telling.”

“But at Tribeca, she had not come out publicly and that was so incredible. And don’t you feel like it’s like, ‘95!’ I’m like, ‘This show needs to come out.’ She came out because we made this show,” Jacobson added.
