That’s A Girl
A five year initiative to support the growth of girls’ and women’s baseball throughout the United States and Internationally. Often a lack of support will push a girl to play another sport or quit baseball all together. Feeling as though a player is “aging out” after Little League or not socially connecting on all boy teams once middle school starts, are only some of the obstacles a girl faces trying to stay committed to baseball.
T.A.G. wants that to change. Developing a support system for individuals to bring more ‘all girl’ baseball to their communities and schools is the goal. Visit That’s A Girl.

Grand Valley State University Digital Collections: All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Interviews
The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was started by Philip Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, during World War II to fill the void left by the departure of most of the best male baseball players for military service. The League gave over 600 women athletes the opportunity to play professional baseball. Many of the players went on to successful careers, and the league itself provided an important precedent for later efforts to promote women’s sports.
