| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Baseball has been called America's past time and has found ways to stay afloat in even its roughest eras. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was developed when World War II made it impossible for the major leagues to have normal seasons. Coached by retired major-league players, the women of the All-American league represented sportsmanship, athleticism and patriotism. This book looks at the history of baseball in the U.S., the years of the All-American Girls league, big-name managers and star players, like Maxine Kline, Audrey Wagner, Betty Foss and others. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
