Ask anyone about female baseball players and you are liable to get the response of, "Don't you mean softball?"
Others might give an answer of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League or perhaps the movie, A League of Their Own.
     The story of females in baseball dates back to 1859 and today, USA Baseball selects a National Women's Team to play in international events. 
     There is an unwritten rule that states, "Baseball is for boys; Softball is for girls." It is this rule that contributes to the continued struggle of females who want to play baseball.
     DiamondDreams, LLC was created to help bring this story to communities all over the United States, because EVERY community has a girl's or women's baseball story, whether they realize it or not.
     Drawn from one of the largest private women's baseball collections in the United States, this exhibit tells the story of female baseball pioneer Maud Nelson. A player, manager and owner of baseball teams, she impacted the game for 50 years.
     Other stories transcend the decades such as Jackie Mitchell's 1931 strikeouts of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig; the players of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (1943-1954) and the continued impact they continue to still have today as well as Carolyn King's story of defying Little League Baseball's ban on female players.
     The exhibit can focus on other well-known individual players, amateur leagues, the Colorado Silver Bullets, a professional team and the USA National Women's Team as part of the storyline.
     A popular culture impact can also be a part of any exhibition and would touch on everything from books to music to stage plays as well as movies.
