Wonderful item for my women in baseball collection. The National Girls Baseball League was very similar to the early incarnation of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League (A League Of Their Own). The NGBL lasted 11 seasons and was based in the upper midwest at the same time as the AAGPBL. Both leagues were really softball leagues, with the AAGPBL eventually transitioning towards more of an overhand baseball format by the end of its existence and the NGBL maintaining underhand throughout. The two leagues shared many many players through their decades plus of existences.

This is an autograph book which features signatures of the entire NGBL for the 1949 season. All six teams are featured. Just a wonderful wonderful piece of history. I will only post two for the sake of brevity. 71 (or more) NGBL signatres in all.
