Made famous again by the movie "A League of Their Own", this league was conceived in 1943 by Chicago Cubs owner and chewing gum magnate Phillip Wrigley because it was widely believed that the Major and Minor leagues would be suspended during World War 2. When President Roosevelt gave the order to continue baseball for the "morale" of the nation Wrigley decided that it was time to fold the AAGPBL, however the attendance continued to grow and the league continued to operate until 1954. For the first 5 years (unlike the movie) the AAGPBL was a fastpitch underhand softball league. In 1948 the league changed to allow overhand pitching. The AAGPBL gradually reduced the size of the softball from 12 inches in 1943-44, 11 1/2 inches in 1945, 11 inches in 1946-47, 10 3/8 inches 1948-49 (overhand), 10 inches in 1950 and finally to 9 1/4 inches (regulation baseball) from 1951-54.

This womens professional league was formed in 1944 and fielded teams until 1953. The League name was changed from National Girls Softball League to National Girls Baseball League in 1946. The main differences between the NGBL and the AAGPBL were the NGBL had all of it's teams in Illinois in the greater Chicago area including Chicago, Des Plaines, Rockola & Forest Park while the AAGPBL had teams in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Also the AAGPBL began to allow overhand pitching in 1948 whereas the pitching in the NGBL remained underhand through 1953. To keep the AAGPBL from raiding all the best players the NGBL often paid higher salaries than the AAGPBL thus starting a salary war between the leagues. Both leagues paid the equivelent of mens minor league baseball, with some stars in the early 1950's making an incredible $1000 per month in the NGBL . Many AAGPBL stars defected to the NGBL because of the excellent salaries and in some cases not being on the road as much was also important. Sophie Kurys, arguably the all time greatest player in AAGPBL, finished her career in the NGBL playing the 1951-53 seasons. The AAGPBL and the NGBL competed against each other to see who could associate itself with the biggest stars. The AAGPBL recruited baseball hall of famer Max Carey to be the league president. The NGBL countered with legendary football hall of famer Red Grange as league president. The AAGPBL had former big leaguers Jimmie Foxx (Tom Hanks charactor), Dave Bancroft, Marty McManus, Bill Wambsganss and Carson Bigbee as managers, the NGBL had former big leaguers Woody English, Buck Weaver (1919 Black Sox) and Guy Bush as managers. Ironically, Charlie Bidwell (the millionaire owner of the NFL Chicago Cardinals) who originally helped finance the birth of the AAGPBL also bankrolled the NGBL and was the team owner and 3rd base coach of the Chicago Bluebirds. With so much focus on the AAGPBL since the movie "A League of Their Own", the NGBL really has not received it's due attention as the other premier womens "baseball" league. If anyone has information about this league please email us because we would like to put together a player register of everyone who played in the NGBL from 1944-53, which would be available online. We have rosters and statistics from 1949-52 and incomplete info from other seasons. Sports Artifacts has a large collection of NGBL memorabilia including the lifetime collection of Jamie "Shorty" Deckard who played in the NGBL for 8 years (1944-51) and was voted the leagues best shortstop for 7 seasons.

In addition to a score page with the complete rosters for each team each program contains many photos (often more than 20) and are filled with players statistics, standings and so on. All of the following programs come from the collection of NGBL star shortstop Jamie Deckard and many have notes/highlights written by her. 1944 Rockola Autographed Team Ball. 14 perfect signatures on a "44 Rock-Ola" softball.

Sports Artifacts recently acquired a large collection of NGBL (National Girls Baseball League) memorabilia including the lifetime collection of Jamie "Shorty" Deckard who played in the NGBL for 8 years (1944-51) and was voted as the leagues best shortstop for 7 straight years. Deckard also played in the NSA Softball World Championships for the Jax Brewers of New Orleans (with the Savona sisters, considered to be the greatest women's softball teams of all time) and played in the Phoenix Major League with the Mesa Premiums in 1952 and with the Monrovia Gems of the Pacific Coast Womens League in 1956. She was also a world class basketball player and played in several AAU National Basketball tournaments. Deckard is one of very few women who, outside tennis and golf, made their living as a professional athlete during the 1940's and 50's. Several years ago I asked the ladies at the AAGPBL table at a sports show if anyone had ever heard of Jamie Deckard. One woman immediatly yelled "Jaimie Deckard broke my leg". The woman was Pauline "Hedy" Crawley who in addition to playing in the AAGPBL for 2 years, played in the NGPL for 9 years. Pauline was sliding into second base and broke her leg in a collision with Jamie Deckard. |
