Stepping Up to the Plate: The History and Future of Trailblazing Women in Baseball

Gallery Presentation - Gabrielle Augustine, Curator, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

“There’s no crying in baseball!” is perhaps the most iconic line from A League of Their Own. Although Penny Marshall’s 1992 film about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League that began during World War II captured modern fans’ hearts, the rich history of women participating in the National Pastime has remained largely under-celebrated. Join National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum curator and lifelong baseball player Gabrielle Augustine to learn more about the trailblazing women who have shattered barriers in America’s game.
