Author Anika Orrock has collected a range of funny, charming, wince-worthy and heart-warming vignettes as told by the players themselves from their various experiences playing in the AAGBPL, from the very first tryouts to barnstorming around the country and sliding into home base in League-mandated skirts and lipstick. Beginning with a brief history of the founding of the league, the players' stories are woven together with press coverage of the league, player statistics, and historical beats to form a single narrative of their experiences, struggles, and impressions of a time when being a woman in a professional sports league was revolutionary. With an introduction by New York Yankees assistant general manager Jean Afterman, THE INCREDIBLE WOMEN OF THE AAGBPL is an inspirational story for anyone looking to carve out their own place in the world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a All-American Girls Professional Baseball League $x History $v Juvenile literature. 610 20 $a All-American Girls Professional Baseball League $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women baseball players $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Baseball players $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Baseball for women $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Baseball $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Afterman, Jean, $e author of foreword. 941 $a 6 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323011640.0 952 $l JMPC081 $d 20230519013457.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021501.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20210202022031.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20201203010559.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200314011501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=105A1A3265BB11EAABDD622297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
