As the #WPBL rises it’s important to recognize those that have gone before.
The Silver Bullets - 3 players hit over 300 & the team won their final game to finish with a record of 23–22.
Can you name 3 Silver Bullets that would later play for the USAWNT Team?

What are the barriers to girls and young women participating in baseball?
I had the chance to sit down with two @wpbl baseball athletes, Addie Ziebart and Braidy Birdsall, to chat:

Well, it took 29 years of making websites but I finally got one of those scary lawyer emails telling me to "cease and desist in the next 48 hours before they begin legal action"
And of all things, it was over my #WPBL fan-site

Across the USA and around the world, women have always played baseball. From backyard games with older siblings, to rec leagues across the country, women have found ways to play the sport they love. Baseball is America's pastime, but the professional game hasn't evolved to reflect the diversity of those who play, watch and love this sport. That's about to change. A long time dream is coming into focus: a professional women's baseball league for a new generation. The Women's Pro Baseball League is here. We're creating a stage where elite women's baseball players have a place to shine, and establishing a pipeline for every girl who dreams of competing at the highest level one day. A league of their own, for the first time since the AAGPBL of the 1940s. This league is just one part of a larger cultural shift. Women in sports are finally getting the recognition they deserve. We're at the beginning of a new chapter and it's time for our athletes to write their story. What started as an idea is now a reality. We're less than five months away from the WPBL’s opening day on August 1st, 2026 and already so much has happened. The world has taken notice of what we're doing, and hundreds of thousands of people have tuned in to follow along. People just like you. Thank you for supporting this league. For supporting women in baseball. You're a part of this. A part of history. The next chapter begins this August. We hope you'll join us in making history. Justine Siegal, PhD WPBL Commissioner

We exported baseball and then discovered we couldn't compete well if we didn't encourage women playing.

It's six months until Opening Day for the #WPBL !!
You know what's amazing? A woman can hit a ball and run out of the box using the same momentum. She can scale a wall and rob a home run. She can block a wild pitch and knock it into the dirt. She can run 90 feet. She can turn a double play. She can steal.
She can play baseball #WPBL
