Rockford Peaches
notes: label: Description
content: The Rockford Peaches women's baseball team was an inaugural member of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Fearing a shortage of men due to the Second World War, the League was created to offer an alternative to Major League Baseball. The Peaches, one of only two clubs to play in every AAGPBL season (1943-1954,) won four championships before the League disbanded.
