Bloomer Girls: The First Women of Baseball is my original scripted podcast showcasing the greatest female ball players who ever played the game during the Ruth-Gehrig era.

(Audio Drama)

 

Show Description. Before Dottie, Kit and the Rockford Peaches from “A League of Their Own,” women were already playing baseball - and had been for four decades. Only, instead of donning a mini-skirt, they played in bloomers. With no official league laws or rules, they barnstormed from city to city. Nationwide, thousands of female ballplayers challenged men’s semi-pro and recreation teams to a duel on the diamond, but only a handful rose to the top. The Pros.

​

These are the Bloomer Girls. They are the forgotten heroes of baseball... and they were the first.
