  • 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.

Due to this inherent link with masculinity, American women were kept from participating in sports to protect their feminine nature. As the years passed of continuous oppression, only a small handful of women were able to fight back and make a name for themselves as prominent and successful athletes. To combat the larger issue of gender discrimination in America, a women’s movement was launched in the 1960s and 1970s.

In your goodness, you created human beings in your image and called us good. You gave us a Garden to sustain us and be our delight. 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.
