Episode 2: The Inaugural Season
The rosters were set, the uniforms were ordered, and the managers were assigned. Now there was only one thing left to do: Play Ball. No one – not even the players – quite knew what that first season would look like, and no one was sure if the fans would turn out. Follow the
1943 Blue Sox through their first season in the AAGPBL. Sources include The South Bend Blue Sox by Jim Sargent; The Dutiful Dozen by W.C. Madden; archived newspapers including (but not limited to) the South Bend Tribune, Chicago Tribune, Kenosha News, and Racine
Journal-Times; the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Players' Association (aagpbl.org); and Grand Valley State University Digital Collections.
Part of Series 3: South Bend Blue Sox and the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League
A Bend in Time is presented by The History Museum in South Bend, Indiana and hosted by Aaron Helman.
