  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.

Even when we broke your commandment and lost that first Paradise, You gave us the gift of Sabbath, reminding us that we are not slaves to our work Or to anyone else. You commanded us to rest … and to play. You put playfulness in the hearts of your creatures, Dogs run. Dolphins jump. Birds sing. Children run, jump, and sing. And you bid us participate in that joy. In time, baseball developed in the midst of that play, invented by children, and by adults who wanted to keep on playing. It doesn’t really do much that’s particularly useful, But, along with chocolate, swing sets, symphony orchestras, rose gardens, and blueberry pancakes, not to mention the Final Four and bright red bow ties, we are grateful for this gift.

Her father worked in the steel mills and was also an avid baseball fan, often taking Shirley and her brother to Pittsburg Pirates games, teaching Shirley the rudiments of the game, position by position. Shirley's passion for the game continued to grow when her older brother allowed her to shag balls for the neighborhood boys as they played pick-up games. She heightened her fielding skills by throwing a ball against their house – against the basement to simulating grounders, and against the upper story to simulate pop flies.

  • Helen Waddell-Wyatt Talks with the Chicago Baseball Museum About Her Peach of a Career
    Helen Waddell-Wyatt talks with the Chicago Baseball Museum about her Peach of a career. By Paul Ladewski You grew up with five older brothers in Lemoyne, Pa., a small town outside Harrisburg. What role did they play in your baseball career? Well, they beat the heck out of me, but nobody else could. Oh, yeah, they toughened me up. I played baseball with them and I played football with them. Whatever there was to be done, I was out there with them. I was a tomboy, but I had to be to defend myself. (Laughs.) You played second base for the 1950 Rockford Peaches team that won the All- American Girls Professional Baseball League title. What made it special? We had a lot of good hitters. We had a left-handed first baseman named Dottie Kamenshek, and she was so good that a men's team in Florida wanted her to play down there. She could outplay any man I ever saw. She was the best player I played with or against. She could hit for power and she could field. Cubs owner Philip Wrigley founded the league to fill a void in the war years. Was it a worthwhile experience for the players? We did well for ourselves. I was paid $75 per week, and that was good money at the time. That was more than some guys made. On the road, we stayed in the best hotels in town and got $9 a day in meal money. A lot of girls put themselves through college on that.

January 25, 1979 (aged 50) From the EHS Yearbook, the Maroon: G.A.A.: President 4, Class Council, Student Council Born in Elgin Illinois she played professional baseball in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League as an Infielder and she batted right and threw right and played for the Grand Rapids Chicks (1947), Chicago Colleens (1948) and the Rockford Peaches (1949–1950) Career highlights and awards: Three-time championship team (1947, 1949–1950) Women in Baseball – AAGPBL Permanent Display at Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (1988) Charlene Ann Barnett Bio Charlene Barnett filled a consistent role during her four seasons in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. A three-time champion team member, she was a versatile infielder, playing mainly at second base, while adding deep defense at third base and shortstop. Considered a light hitter, she combined her usual brilliant defense with a decent bit of offense for a hitter placed at bottom of the batting order. Barnett entered the league in 1947 with the Grand Rapids Chicks, playing for them one year. She hit a .115 batting average as a rookie, appearing in 33 games as a backup for Alma Ziegler (2B), Ernestine Petras (3B) and Doris Tetzlaff (SS). Grand Rapids, managed by Johnny Rawlings, defeated the South Bend Blue Sox in the first round of the playoffs, three games to two, and disposed of the Racine Belles in the final series, four games to three, to claim the champion title.

  • University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire the Racine Belles
    UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-EAU CLAIRE THE RACINE BELLES: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE STARS OF THE ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS BY JACQUELINE E. DUPONT EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN MAY 2010 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with the consent of the author. Abstract This thesis will survey the rise and fall of the Racine Belles, an All-American Girls Professional Baseball team that was created to save professional baseball during the 1940s and 1950s. During this time, Major League Baseball’s leading players joined the war effort to combat the Axis powers during the Second World War, creating a fear that the loss of these men could lead to the end of the sport. This thesis questions why the popular and victorious Belles were disbanded sooner than other AAGPBL teams. This triumphant event in women’s history and the effects of the Racine Belles and other AAGPBL teams’ success on the future of women’s sports still lingers. The research for this paper consisted of studying multiple secondary sources such as historical monographs and scholarly journals. More importantly, the research includes the use of primary sources from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. ii Contents LIST OF FIGURES iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v INTRODUCTION 1 REVIEW OF SECONDARY LITERATURE 5 WHILE THE BOYS ARE AWAY 5 THE WOMEN BACK HOME 8 THE AAGPBL 11 CREATION

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball.
