ABOUT

The National Girls Baseball League (NGBL) was a professional women’s fastpitch softball league that featured teams from the Chicagoland area. The circuit was founded with five ballclubs in 1944 and lasted until 1954. Very little information exists about the league, its teams, and its players. Our purpose in creating this documentary film is to give the NGBL the recognition it deserves as a pioneer in women’s sports.
