How did World War 2 lead to women's baseball?

Answer 1

When the armament manufacturing companies realized they were wearing out and even killing some of their workers they had to change their ways of running their companies. They began to change the hours, shifts and to have their female and few male employees do exercises and have longer breaks. They developed Baseball teams and Bowling teams and other activities for the employees. So the women joined the teams. Many of the professional ball players joined the war so the teams could not play. Women who formed teams allowed the public to come watch and cheer at their games.

Answer 2

World War 2 led to the creation and popularity of women's baseball due to the shortage of male baseball players. With many men serving in the military, women were given the opportunity to play professional baseball in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). The league gained attention and became popular during the war years and continued for a few years after the war ended.
