The Incredible Women of the AAGPBL by Anika Orrock is a remarkable book - one that seamlessly weaves together the history of the league with the voices of the women involved and the broader societal context of the 1940s and 1950s in America, with a unique and evocative illustrative style.
After a great chat with Anika about her wonderful book, we were lucky to be joined by Leslie Heaphy, Vice-President of SABR and Chair of the SABR's Women in Baseball Committee, for a discussion about the book and more broadly about the role of women throughout baseball's history.
