The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League is widely understood to have remained racially segregated, with no Black players signed during its existence, but a 1952 newspaper clipping complicates that narrative. The article, published in the Black newspaper Call and Post, reports that Evelyn Clarke, a standout player from the Chicago Harlem Queens, had been signed by South Bend’s AAGPBL team, the South Bend Blue Sox. Although Clarke does not appear on official rosters and likely never played due to injury, the report provides credible contemporary evidence that at least one league club may have briefly challenged the AAGPBL’s racial barrier.

Pay close attention during the tryout scene in the first episode of Amazon Prime’s series “A League of Their Own.”
Two women, one wearing a plaid jacket and the other in a red sweater that contrasts with her puffy white hair, are sitting in the stands and applauding while a group of brave women show off their pitching, batting and fielding skills in hopes of winning spots in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
The two spectators are smiling, as if they know something you don’t. They look like people you should recognize but can’t quite place.
Who are they? Why are they there? Too quickly, the camera moves on.
The woman on the left is Shirley Burkovich, who spent three seasons in the AAGPBL and died in March at 89. Beside her in the red sweater is 95-year-old Maybelle Blair of Sunset Beach. She’s one of the few surviving players from the AAGPBL, which was launched in 1943 to keep baseball alive while many major leaguers were serving in World War II. By every definition, Blair always has been in a league of her own.

I have exactly zero impulse control when a new fixation takes up residence in my brain, and right now... I love me some queer baseball babes 🍑
