Dirt on their skirt : 150 years of pioneers in womens baseball

Description:	Many Americans are surprised to learn that women once played professional baseball in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) from 1943-1954. Founded by Chicago Cubs owner Phil Wrigley in order to entertain Americans - and keep ballparks full - during World War II, the league provided unprecedented opportunity for young women to play professional baseball, see the country, and aspire to careers beyond the traditional roles of teacher, secretary, nurse, librarian, or housewife. This particular version of the video Dirt on their Skirt has been edited due to copyright claims on some content by the Sony Corporation and Columbia Recordings (The original unedited version contained footage from the 1992 film, A League of Their Own and The All American Girls Professional Baseball League Song by The Rockford Peaches.) A full, unedited version is stored within the holdings of Ball State University Libraries Archives and Special Collections, and can be made available for individual research and fair use educational purposes.
