There was certainly no crying in baseball in 1947 if you lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Unless you count tears of joy, that is. The Chicks won the first of their two All-American Girls Professional Baseball League championships that season, proving that America's pastime was truly not gender specific. Behold the most glamorous-looking player you've ever encountered on the cover of a baseball yearbook - this one being a signed edition from the Chicks. It contains 17 autographs on the player pages. The book is creased down the center and carries the budget-busting cover price of $1.
