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.
Moving from Milwaukee after the
1944 season, the Grand Rapids Chicks
were one of two new teams added to the
League in 1945.
The 1949 Chicks manager John Rawlings,
was a
13 year Major League veteran playing
from 1914 to1926. Each team was
required to have a woman chaperone.
Dottie Hunter who played first base for
the 1943 Kenosha Comets, and infield
for the Racine Belles served as the
Chicks Chaperone from 1944 to 1954 when
the league closed.
The team finished the 1949 season in 3rd place with a record of 57-54, and
lost to the Rockford Peaches in the
final round of the Shaughnessy playoff
3 games to 1 in the best of 5 series.
The Shaughnessy playoff system is a
method of determining the champion of a
sports league that is not in a
divisional alignment.
