THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S BASEBALL HALL OF FAME

Did you know that the lady sluggers have a hall of fame all their own? The newest inductees of the National Women's Baseball Hall of Fame are Claire Schillace, Center Fielder, Racine Belles (circa. 1940s) for the previous player category, and Charlene Wright, Pitcher, New Jersey Nemesis, for the current player category. Check out who won the awards for Best Manager and MVP, and who received the latest National Skills Championship awards. Access more than a hundred newsletters about women in baseball, from the past to the present, and also get information for how to become eligible for the National Women's Baseball Hall of Fame. One of the best features of this site is the calendar, which contains notable and very interesting events on virtually every date going back to the 1800s. For instance, at 12 p.m. on August 10, 1971, Harmon Killebrew hit his 500th homerun. And on August 11, 1929, Babe Ruth hit his 500th homerun. Any hard-core baseball fanatic could spend hours poring over the calendar alone!
