baseballs
Being from Rockford, Illinois--I collect Rockford Peaches items....I have never seen a bat specifically made for the womens professional league. The baseball used went through a series of changes over the years from my understanding starting with a softball the first couple of seasons and then progressing to a larger hardball near the end. Fast pitch underhand I think in the beginning moving to sidearm and then overhand. I have a game used ball from the 1951 season. It is exactly like a game used mens ball except a little larger. The dimensions are such that it will not fit in a normal/size ball cube so I had to purchase a softball one instead to house it in. It is a team-signed ball from a Michigan team but what it also a bonus is that Dave Bancroft also signed it....as he was the general manager that particular season.
