In the late 19th century African-American baseball players formed their own professional leagues and barnstormed around the country, playing an exciting style of fast-running and power-hitting baseball that attracted huge audiences. For a dozen years in the 1940s and 1950s, more than 600 women played professional baseball in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.Events & Programs
