Forget everything you think you know about baseball. From the early days of the Bloomer Girls to today's Colorado Silver Bullets, Baseball Girls features something new and different about women who love the sport. You'll see seven-year-olds learning the rules and skills of the game, and fifty-year-olds hitting home runs. This zany and affectionate feature documentary uses animation, archival stills, and live-action footage to detail the history of women's participation in the largely male-dominated world of baseball and softball.
