Over 70 years after the dissolution of the All-American Professional Girls’ Baseball League – and nearly 30 years since the end of the short-lived Ladies League Baseball – female baseball players have been competing in a professional league of their own.
The Women’s Professional Baseball League began its inaugural season on Aug. 1, 2026, in front of a sellout crowd at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. Since then, the league’s four teams have battled one another across 30 games, producing highlight reel moments like Kelsie Whitmore’s three-homer game and Andréanne Leblanc’s walk-off grand slam.
