⚾ Before #WWII, women played #baseball in junior and minor leagues throughout the United States. In 1930, Universal News highlighted a "All-Girls Teams in Slug-fest," a game played between Niles and Oakland. ⚾

If you can’t wait until August to get your gay League of Their Own, my novel THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN comes out July 1! It’s set during WWI, so it could even be an unofficial prequel to the series if you want to look at it that way. I would have been tossing around the comparisons no matter what, but with the TV series coming out combined with the first advance review specifically name-dropping the movie, I feel confident it will scratch the itch. 😊⚾

Let the summer of gay lady baseball begin!

Welcome to the exhilarating journey of Belles Baseball's 2023 season! With unwavering determination and unparalleled teamwork, we proudly emerged victorious once again as the National Champions. The grand finale unfolded at the historic Farnham Park, where we triumphed over the formidable Telford in an epic showdown that had fans on the edge of their seats.

This year's championship game was not just a local spectacle; it became a global sensation! Thanks to the live online stream, passionate supporters from every corner of the world tuned in to witness our moment of glory. The cheers resonated across borders as our team showcased the true spirit of the game.

One of the highlights of this extraordinary season was the infusion of fresh talent. Six remarkable girls, new to the world of baseball, showcased their prowess on the field, marking their debut in a spectacular fashion. Additionally, we welcomed two skilled players who transferred from other teams, adding a new dimension to our already formidable lineup.

In a display of versatility and skill, three of our talented female athletes took the mound to pitch for the first time. The result? Strikeouts that echoed with the sound of victory. It's a testament to the dedication and hard work put in by our players, embracing challenges and conquering new heights.

Amidst the fierce competition, we never forgot to have fun. Laughter echoed through the dugouts, and camaraderie fueled our success. The season wasn't just about winning games; it was about creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Our journey was documented every step of the way, and the reels kept rolling for Instagram. From jaw-dropping plays to heartwarming celebrations, our social media was a vibrant tapestry of our season's triumphs. Join us in reliving the moments that defined our path to becoming National Champions once again.

As we bask in the glory of this incredible season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated fans, supportive community, and, most importantly, our outstanding players who poured their hearts into every swing, pitch, and catch. Here's to the 2023 season – a chapter etched in the annals of our baseball legacy!

19-year-old southpaw Jackie Mitchell, of the House of David baseball team, speaks to her teammates while in New York, July 14, 1933. Mitchell was the first and only woman to have a contract in Major League baseball, with the Chattanooga Lookouts. Two years earlier, in an exhibition game during spring training, she had struck out both Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth―in six pitches.

There is some controversy about that―not that it didn’t happen, because there is a film of it―but as to whether the Yankee aces were doing it just for show. Mitchell always maintained that it was genuine. “Why, hell, they were trying, damn right,” she said. “Hell, better hitters than them couldn’t hit me. Why should they’ve been any different?”

Timothy Wiles, who served as the Baseball Hall of Fame Research Director for about 20 years, said, “If she did this today, it would become a permanent part of the consciousness because of the media we have. If ESPN was around, it certainly would be their lead story.”

Mitchell was quoted at the time saying she learned to throw from her neighbor, MLB's Charles Arthur “Dazzy” Vance, who was later inducted into the Hall of Fame. Her contract was cancelled by baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis after he heard about her spring training feat in 1931.
