If you're wondering why the #WPBL is starting in Springfield, Illinois with four teams, it's because the All American Girls Baseball League started with four teams and the first time that women were paid to play professionally was in Springfield, Illinois

Kelsie Whitmore, when she was with the Staten Island FerryHawks, striking out Trey Martin

Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx (part of the inspiration for Jimmy Dugan in A League of Their Own), looks on at one of his players

I only recently learned how much Hall of Famer Max "Scoops" Carey had to do with the All American Girl's league back in the day

How actions indicate character:

Kit, a pitcher, ducks as she's used to line drives coming back at her

Marla, a middle infielder, plants herself to field the ball

Dottie, a catcher, catches the ball

As the #WPBL is set to premiere, I'd love to call out the amazing Jean Faut. She's the only professional player (man or woman) to throw TWO perfect games

I might be the only person who is like, "ah... Make a fan site. That'll be relaxing."

So, I spent some spare time this Thanksgiving weekend working on building out the site

It still needs SO much work, but it's good to stretch the old muscles again

Seeing a lot of MLB "Best Plays" today and I'd like you to watch this.
