Baseball has been called America's past time and has found ways to stay afloat in even its roughest eras. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was developed when World War II made it impossible for the major leagues to have normal seasons. Coached by retired major-league players, the women of the All-American league represented sportsmanship, athleticism and patriotism. This book looks at the history of baseball in the U.S., the years of the All-American Girls league, big-name managers and star players, like Maxine Kline, Audrey Wagner, Betty Foss and others.
