History of American Girls Baseball 

A professional baseball league for girls and women who want to have a future in that sport, American Girls Baseball (AGB) was created as an affiliate organization of the All American Girl’s Professional Baseball League Players Association (AAGPBL PA). The organization benefits all-female baseball players who want to have a choice between softball and baseball and provides them with opportunities to train, participate, and compete in the game at every level—including high school, college and professional.
