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.
