Teams of \"Bloomer Girls\" played across the country from the 1890's to the 1930's. Between 1943 and 1954, The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League existed, where 600 women competed in the sport professionally. Since 2004, women's baseball teams from around the world have competed in the Women's Baseball World Cup.",
