About All-American Girls Baseball
In 1943, with so many men overseas, Philip Wrigley helped start a professional league for women, and the ballparks of Midwestern towns filled up on summer nights. The players took the field in short flared skirts, and between games they were sent off to charm school. The league kept going until 1954.
