Description

Here are 42 interviews with women who competed in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

Each interview is a separate chapter featuring data about the player, a short bio of her athletic career, and the player's recollections.

A brief history covers the many changes as the League evolved from underhand pitching with a 12-inch ball in 1943 to overhand pitching, adopted in 1948, through the circuit's league's final year, 1954, when a regulation baseball was introduced.

The interviews range from 1995 to 2012 and reveal details of particular games, highlights of individual careers, the camaraderie of teammates, opponents and fans, and the impact the League made on their lives.

Several players recall how the 1992 movie A League of Their Own brought the historic All-American League back to life almost 40 years after the final game.
