The line comes from the 1992 film A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall, about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Tom Hanks plays alcoholic former star Jimmy Dugan, who shouts it at Evelyn Gardner after she burst into tears over a mistake. The scene became the movie's most quoted moment and entered wider sports culture as shorthand for telling someone to toughen up. It is still replayed in baseball highlights, reaction videos and memes whenever emotion spills over during a game.
