  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ann Report FY01-FINAL.Qxd
    The State Transportation Board and the nearly 6,000 employees of the Georgia Department of Transportation are determined to provide the residents of Georgia with the most efficient transportation system in the nation. The Department has often been recognized for its outstanding highway system. In 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997 and 1998 the Department was acknowledged for some of the best maintained and most scenic roads in the country. Today, Georgia’s transportation system encompasses 113,655 miles of public roads, 4,853 miles of railroad, 103 publicly owned airports and four shipping ports. The Department also serves the mobility needs of residents through 12 urban transit systems and 82 rural transit systems. The Department is recognized nationally for its leadership in transportation management as demonstrated through NAVIGATOR, Georgia’s high-tech Intelligent Transportation System. This system monitors more than 234 miles of highway through the use of 1,044 state-of-the-art video cameras, 63 changeable message signs, and data management technologies to relay real-time traffic conditions 24 hours a day in the Wayne Shackelford Transportation Management Center. Other measures used to control traffic congestion and air pollution include 90 miles of HOV lanes, 88 park and ride lots and 2,943 miles of bicycle and pedestrian routes. With a total budget of $1.6 billion the Georgia Department of Transportation is dedicated to providing the public with a transportation network for the 21st Century.
