Carson Shaw/Greta Gill is the canonical femslash pairing between Carson Shaw and Greta Gill from the TV series A League of Their Own.

Canon

Carson and Greta meet in episode one of A League of their Own after Carson tries (unsuccessfully) to follow Greta and Jo Deluca, believing them to be going to the same baseball try-outs as her.

Later in the episode, at a bar the players go to to unwind, Greta takes Carson outside and kisses her, leaving her dazed and still processing the kiss with a smile and a "I thought so". The next few episodes follow the growing tension between them as Carson struggles with her attraction and internalised homophobia, before they reconcile. Their relationship hits more bumps following a police raid at a gay bar they go to that sees Jo transferred to a rival baseball team and the return of Carson's husband, Charlie, from the war.

Season one ended on a cliff-hanger, with Carson and Greta committing to seeing each other again and their goodbye kiss being seen by Charlie.
