The Detroit Tigers gave a memorable performance in the pennant race against the New York Yankees in 1961, the American League's first expansion season. The Yankees' saga is well known but the Tigers' tale has largely been ignored. This book chronicles the season highlights.

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League debuted in 1943 as a way to fill ballpark seats while Major League Baseball suspended operations during World War II. This chronicles the history of the league as seen through the players, management, and experiences of the South Bend Blue Sox, one of only two teams to exist for the league's entire 11-season existence.

This is a collection of 42 interviews with women who competed in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Each interview is a separate chapter featuring data about the player, a short bio of her athletic career, and the player's recollections. A brief history covers the many changes as the League evolved from underhand pitching with a 12-inch ball in 1943 to overhand pitching, adopted in 1948, through the circuit's league's final year, 1954, when a regulation baseball was introduced.
