'A League of Their Own' Prime Video Series: Meet The Full Cast Here!

Chanté Adams is Max Chapman.

Maxine, who goes by Max, dreams of becoming a professional pitcher one day. The fact that she is Black provides just one more obstacle to her playing ball besides the fact that she’s a woman. Max’s mother wants her to work at her salon and eventually run it one day so that she can be an independent Black woman in America, but Max cannot put down her glove. She attempts to secure a tryout in Chicago because she’s from Rockford, but the coaches take one look at her and say no. She also rarely goes anywhere without her best friend Clance.
