Book Reviews of A Whole New Ball Game: The Story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League

Book Review: Good read, lots of references to followup.
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a good read, short and full of great information. Lots of references to followup on. In fact, we intend to visit the museum in South Bend, Indiana on our vacation this summer where they are supposed to have the largest collection of AAGPBL materials. Met one of these gals this winter in Florida and found her very interesting and fun to talk to. She gave us her card and autographed it for us and we took a picture with her, too. A great baseball fan like me. If you want to hear how it all started and a lot of inside info, this is a good book for you. Spells out the climate for women during that time pretty accurately, too. Thank goodness times have changed. But we still don't have women making millions in baseball.

Summary of A Whole New Ball Game: The Story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League

For 12 seasons, from 1943 to 1954, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League captured America's attention with top-notch playing, and showed everyone that a woman's place was at home only when she was at bat, behind the plate, or scoring a run! ALA Best Book for Young Adults. NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book. School Library Journal Best Book of the Year.
