The AAGPBL - All-American Girls
Professional Baseball League, was a
professional women's baseball league
which existed from 1943 to 1954. Having
been started in 1943 with four teams,
the league eventually expanded to 10
teams located in the American Midwest
in 1948. From 1949 to 1951 the league
was reduced to eight teams; Six teams
in 1952 and 1953, before closing the
league with for teams in 1954. The 1992
motion picture "A League of Their Own"
is a mostly fictionalized account of
the early days of the league and its
stars.
The 1952 Grand Rapids Chicks played their home games at Bigelow Field,
Grand Rapids Michigan, and finished the
season in 4th place with a record of
50-60. Inside, the scorecard features
the Chicks home and away schedules.

home team portion, and reads; "If Your
number corresponds with the number
announced, present the score card after
the game at the concession office and
you will receive two tickets to a
future chick game and two free CHICKEN
DINNERS courtesy CHICKEE DRIVE INN"
Their ad to the right states; "Eat
Chicken with the Chicks"
Lucky Number "B" is at the top of the visitors card. Lucky Number "C" on
another page, pays tribute to Mr.
Baseball, George Herman Ruth. A page
featuring the 1952 Grand Rapids Chicks
roster also has a short career sports
bio on Mgr. John E. Gottselig, and two
pages with mini bio's "Meet the AAGPBL
