In A League of Their Own, Jacobsen also stars as Carson Shaw, a married woman from Idaho. Shaw travels by train to Chicago to try out for the All-American Girl's Professional Baseball League (AAGBPL). Along the way, she tags along with Greta (D'Arcy Carden) and Jo (Melanie Fields). Both are off to the same field of dreams. All three make it into AAGBPL. They are all placed on the Rockford Peaches roster. Another player who tries out, Maxine Chapman (Chante Adams), is denied the opportunity. Why? Because of the color of her skin. Even though she can throw the baseball from deep centerfield to the first base dugout stands. She is accompanied by her best friend, Clance, played by Sex Education's Gbemisola Ikumelo.
