A Team of Their Own: All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Documentary - Accession 1534 M745 (802)

The collection consists of a DVD of the documentary A Team of Their Own: All-American Girls Professional Baseball League created by the Grand Valley State University Veterans History Project in 2015. From the cover: Here at last is the real story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) as told by the players themselves. The League’s teams played in cities across the Midwest between 1943 and 1954 and drew players from across the country and beyond. Follow the players as they learn to play ball, try out, train and play for the league, go their separate ways, and come back together many years later. Based on oral history interviews with dozens of former players, A Team of Their Own takes you inside the world of a remarkable group of women who were pioneers in American sports. Documentary Team: Executive Producers: Ed Warner, Jackie Erickson; Producers: Frank Boring, James Smither; Associate Producers: Janet Coryell, Melissa Nickels; Editors: James Christie, Melissa Nickels; Written and Narrated by Janet Coryell.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/2331/thumbnail.jp
