This review is from: A League of My Own: Memoir of a Pitcher for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (Paperback)
My sincere thanks to this author. I was facinated by the movie, A League of Their Own. I welcomed the detail and reality of the era of womens baseball that this author shared. It was warm, humorous and long overdue. She was a remarkable woman, with the courage to follow her dreams.

A League of My Own by Pat Brown, February 18, 2008
This review is from: A League of My Own: Memoir of a Pitcher for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (Paperback)
Pat Brown's A League of My Own is a great addition to anybody's baseball library. While there are have been several great books written on the league's history, Brown's has the distinction of being written by an actual former player. For AAGPBL enthusiasts, A League of My Own offers great insight into the events, attitudes, and experiences of the 1949-1950 player development teams which is mentioned in most accounts, but so far hasn't been detailed this well. Also interesting to read of this woman's personal story and how professional baseball was just one chapter in a long sports career. Great Book!
