Description |
In Their Own League by Lois Browne is a colorful chronicle of a forgotten women's professional baseball league, as recalled by the very women and men who were a part of it all. The idea for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League came from Philip K. Wrigley, the great chewing-gum mogul and owner of the Chicago Cubs, who feared the effect of WWII on the major leagues, many of whose players weren't waiting to be drafted before joining up.
