Helen Nicol and the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was a professional women's baseball league founded by Philip K. Wrigley in 1943. Long before it came to fame with the movie 'A League of Their Own,' the league's actual superstars - including Saskatchewan native Helen Nicol - were performing heroic feats all their own. One night, two days after throwing a shutout, Nicol entered a game in relief and threw thirteen scoreless innings, while also driving in the game-winning run. This is her story.
