And that in the 1940s girls all across America were crazy for our country's favorite game?These little known facts inspired Shana Corey to imagine a story about how one determined girl made her way to the big leagues &amp; found a sisterhood of players in pigtails. With the same exuberant spirit that fueled the formation of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League, joyful text &amp; jubilant pictures celebrate these brave girls' love of the game &amp; the league they called their own.
