Met an amazing woman today! One of the original Rockford Peaches, a women’s professional baseball team that played from 1943 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The movie “A League of Their Own” was based on this league. Sue is 90 years old, and still organizing yearly women’s baseball (not softball) tournaments! A living legend! #rockfordpeaches #nocryinginbaseball #avoidtheclap

#New The Peaches were a professional women’s baseball team that played from 1943-1954 in Rockford, Illinois. They were a part of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. The Peaches were one of two teams to play in every AAGPBL season (the other team was the South Bend Blue Sox). Home games were played at Beyer Stadium on 15th Avenue. This amazing team won the league championship in 1945,1948, 1949, and 1950! #RockfordPeaches #WomensBaseball #BaseballHistory #WomenInSports
Checked in with our friends at the Rockford Public Library today, which included touring the Local History Department. Loved seeing the Peaches represented on this quilt honoring Rockford on the walls! #NationalLibraryWeek #RockfordPeaches

@lindacardellini as a Rockford Peach. #ai #lindacardellini #aleagueoftheirown #rockfordpeaches #baseball #1940s
"You know, I seem to remember last week somebody throwing a rosin bag in my face, telling me to get my fat ass back behind the plate. Was that you or the umpire?" This is one of the movies that I'll sit and watch over and over again. Love it and had a lot of wonderful and memorable scenes. Belles or Peaches? Loved Geena Davis' character and love Tom Hanks. Always remember one thing..."There's no crying in baseball!" #funkoautograph #funkopopautographs #autographedfunko #aleagueoftheirown #dottie #rockfordpeaches #nocryinginbaseball #geenadavis

First baseball game in a long time!!!!! @razorbackbsb Ahhhhh!!! Thank you Lydia!!! @the_philospohical_fox I grew up with baseball. My dad and used to play catch. We would gather together in the living room and watch The Sandlot, A League of Their Own, etc. Whenever we were in FL. for a family event we would get together for a baseball game because my mom has 7 brothers, so combine that with multiple SO's and kids, we were able to make two teams of 9! #baseball #aleagueoftheirown #sandlot #sultanofswat #theresnocryinginbaseball #fieldofdreams #rockfordpeaches

Beyer Field, Rockford, IL circa 2023 - Former home of the Rockford Peaches (1943-54) - The original stands were torn down in the 1990s.

Swing batter batter - Schwing! ⚾️ there is no crying in baseball … It’s #womenshistorymonth Why not celebrate a film & series loosely based on the real women who made baseball pink 💕 A League Of Their Own does an excellent job celebrating the real-life AAGPBL players, even if a lot of the movie was fictionalized for entertainment purposes. Luckily the 2022 television series made up for a lack of diversity in the film, but the original is still celebrated for the awareness it brought to the league, which unfortunately is not talked about as much as the MBL is. As the movie shows, the real AAGPBL is no less worthy of recognition. Another real thing that the A League of Their Own series showed was that Black women were not allowed to play in the AAGPBL. This part of the League of Their Own true story was shown in the story of Max (Chante Adams), where she learned that she wasn’t welcome and ended up playing for a predominantly male team in the segregated league. While a fictionalized character, her story mirrors that of Toni Stone, Mamie Johnson, and Connie Morgan. The Prime Video series also showed LGBTQ+ people, which was accurate for the real teams in the AAGPL, as evident by Maybelle Blair, a former player who came out many years later.

1994 Ted Williams Collection with All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Post inspired by @pillboxbatco @women.on.topps and @giantlegends The All-American Girl’s Professional Baseball League existed between 1943-1954. Most of the stars of Major League Baseball were called to duty during World War II, leaving children and those at home in need of entertainment and distraction. Phillip Wrigley (Cubs), Branch Rickey (Dodgers), and Paul V. Harper (Wrigley’s Attorney) are credited with creating the league consisting of over 600 women. Playing condition were not the greatest for these women. As they were required to attend mandatory meetings on how to dress and act. They even given makeup kits and were forced to wear Lip Stick at all times. Teams were mainly located in the Midwest and consisted of the Rockford Peaches, South Bend Blue Sox, Springfield Sallies, Fort Wayne Daisies, Peoria Redwings, Chicago Colleen’s, Kenosha Comets, Minneapolis Millerettes, Milwaukee/ Grand Rapids Chicks, Muskegon/ Kalamazoo Lassies, and Racine/ Battle Creek / Muskegon Belles. #womensbaseball #allamericangirlsbaseballleague #aagbl #rockfordpeaches #racinebelles #battlecreekbelles #muskegonbelles #muskegonlassies #kalamazoolassies #milwaukeechicks #grandrapidschicks #minneapolismillerettes #southbendbluesox #springfieldsallies #chicagocolleens #fortwaynedaisies #peoriaredwings #kenoshacomets #dottykamenshek #margewenzel #snookiedoyle #nickiefox #pepperdavis #alicehohlmayer
