Over 600 players are profiled. For each, vital statistics, defensive position, teams played for and seasons active are provided, along with complete career statistics. These data are followed (in most cases) by a brief biographical sketch that details the player's career, how she came to play in the league and information on her post-baseball career. Most of the photographs have never before been published.

This review is from: The Women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League: A Biographical Dictionary (Paperback)
Here's your copy, pilgrim, of the book that lists the players and all of the stuff of researchers of the "League of their own" and a great reference book for any library, public or private. I've used it more than expected and recommend it as my primary source for All American Girls Professional Baseball players. Several other SABR members have it, as well and I haven't heard a single bad word yet. Well done!
