Description: As the US entered WWII and military manpower increased, America's pastime faced extinction. But when President Franklin D. Roosevelt deemed baseball essential for wartime recreation and morale, Chicago Cubs owner PK Wrigley stepped up to the plate by creating the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, America's first and only professional women's baseball league (1943-1954). Teams were established in midwestern cities containing large numbers of industrial defense plants; factory workers and their families could catch any one of the six weekly night games or Sunday day game.
