Rockford Peaches Reunion
From rrstar.com:
More than 70 former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League players are set to reunite Wednesday in Rockford. That group will include Rockford Peaches returning to the Forest City for the first time since their playing days 50 years ago.
It’s the first time the AAGPBL reunion has come to Rockford, and it provides an opportunity for a pair of local Peaches historians to gather more material for their project and showcase what they’ve accomplished so far. ...
The Peaches were one of the original four teams when the league began in 1943 and one of the few teams that stayed in the league for its entire 12-year existence. The team was immortalized in the 1992 film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks and Geena Davis.
