Historic. Complicated. Enduring.
Hollywood didn’t make their history important. It helped us remember it.
@jaybeans.bsky.social@siobsbhndy.bsky.socialDottie Hinson was fictional.
Kit Keller was fictional.
Dorothy Kamenshek, Sophie Kurys, Jean Faut, Helen and Marge Callaghan, and Dottie Schroeder were not. ⚾
Dottie Hinson should be where the history starts—not where it ends.

@siobsbhndy.bsky.social⚾ 1943–1954: Before ‘A League of Their Own’, there was the AAGPBL.
For twelve seasons, women competed professionally and created an extraordinary chapter of baseball history.
More than 70 years later, their legacy lives on.

@siobsbhndy.bsky.socialThe rules kept getting harder. ⚾
1943: 12” ball • 40’ pitching • 65’ bases • underhand
1948: 10⅜” ball • 50’ pitching • 72’ bases • overhand
1954: 9” baseball • 60’ pitching • 85’ bases
The AAGPBL players kept adapting—and excelling.
