One of the original stars of 1992's "A League of Their Own" will be featured in the forthcoming Amazon Studios series adaptation.

Entertainment Weekly on Thursday revealed the first shot of Rosie O'Donnell as Vi, a bar owner who has a recurring role in the series.

Vi is described as a "warm, gregarious" fan of the Rockford Peaches, the all-female team that takes up the national pastime when male players leave to fight in World War II, according to the outlet.
