  • Who's on First?
    Sue's on First Lessons learned from the oral histories of women baseball players Who's on First? An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Joy Schmoll Advisor: Mark Kornmann Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2004 Graduating Spring 2004 Abstract , . :.!'r The girls who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League of the 1940s and 1950s are often credited as pioneers whose accomplishments continue to have far- reaching effects for women. The purpose of this project is to bring new relevance to women's baseball. The current era of professional baseball has been challenged by conservative fans as lacking the strategy, the respectability, and the significance of earlier periods. I propose that by applying an understanding of the history of the AAGPBL to Major League Baseball today, the spirit of the game can be revived. The issues highlighted in this paper as a springboard for considering men's and women's baseball include fan relations, player attitude, and team organization, which are discussed within a framework of historical literature, scholarly journals, scrapbooks, and personal interviews. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Mark Kommann for advising me during the course of this project. His unending flexibility and support allowed the project to unfold naturally, and I could not have completed it without his connections in the Ball State and baseball communities. I am extremely grateful for his encouragement throughout the semester. I would also like to thank the former players of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, Isabel Alvarez, Shirley Burkovich, Helen Hannah Campbell, Audrey Haine Daniels, Jane Moffet, Beans Risinger, and Dolly White, for taking the time to share their memories and stories with me.

  • 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.

  • Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S
    Names, Vol. 38, No.4 (December) Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S. Wilson and James K. Skipper, Jr. Abstract Although women in the general population tend to have fewer nicknames than men, women baseball players in the All-American Girls Baseball League, 1943-1954, were as likely as male baseball players to have public nicknames. This high percentage may be the result of women baseball players taking on the role of nicknamer, since the group in power is more likely to bestow public nicknames and more likely to bestow them on members of their own group. Public nicknames may be a reflection of the power differential between men and women in a given environment. ***** Although it is generally recognized that nicknames are an important cultural element in American society, systematic research has been sparse, and almost none of it focuses on women. In sports, nicknaming has probably been more prevalent than in other areas of American life (Blount). Professional baseball provides a rich source of data to study the use of nicknames in American society.1 Professional baseball is usually thought of as a man's activity, but in the 1940s women played in a professional league. As with men, nicknames were commonly used, and it is the objective of this report to investigate the extent of nickname use and the types of nicknames these women ball players had. The goal is to better understand the use of women's nicknames in American society. Women's Professional Baseball In 1943, Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, created the All-American Girls Baseball League.

Call to Order Chairman Arico called the meeting to order at 7:05PM 2. Pledge of Allegiance Chairman Arico led the Pledge of Allegiance Michelle Doucette Cunningham made a motion to amend the agenda to add item 9b to reschedule the special meeting which was cancelled on November 4th on the topic of mental health services. Tracey Anderson seconded the motion. Elena Testa stated I feel that when we spend additional time on this topic we are taking away from things that are deprived of time. I think we should take a break from this particular question and start catching up on our business during this challenging time. As a board we are really not on top of what is going on right now and it would be unproductive to continue to move forward with this question at least at this time. Tracey Anderson stated I think this is a very important topic that should not be pushed aside based on the amount of conversation that has come through present to speak as well as the attention that is being given to mental health from the state level and the Department of Education. I think this is a priority that we should be attending to. Chairman Arico stated we have been discussing this for close to a year and I don’t know that it would be productive to put it back on the agenda for a special meeting.
