History: Throughout the 1890s-1930’s novelty acts of women playing baseball attracted fans from across the country. Bloomer Girl teams from cities such as Boston and New York, traveled around the nation playing local teams. Allowing for easier play, the preferred “bloomer” style of dress (attributed to suffragette Amelia Jenks Bloomer), becomes synonymous with women’s baseball.
