We like Carson Shaw from the moment we meet her.
That moment is in 1943, in Lake Valley, Idaho, as Abbi Jacobson’s character in “A League of Their Own” — a largely entertaining series debuting this week on Prime Video — is running for a train, bags in her hands. A mess from a fall, she throws her luggage at a man working on the now-moving train who tells her it’s too late for her to board. Nonetheless, she soon jumps aboard to head for a grand adventure.
And, hey, she’s not gonna let the fact that she didn’t have time to buy a ticket stop her.
