Started largely to provide entertainment for baseball fans whose beloved heroes had gone off to World War II, the league would eventually shift gears and become the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which was dissolved at the end of the 1954 season.
Muriel Bevis was one of 25 players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League clubs who hailed from New York City and State, including Gloria Cordes, Mildred Deegan, Nancy Mudge, Betty Trezza and Margaret Wigiser.
She was a steady performer during her only season, ranking between the top ten in home runs (5), runs batted in (43) and stolen bases (38), helping Kenosha reach the playoffs, though the team lost in the first round of post-season action.
[3] Bevis was a longtime resident of Kerrville, Texas,[4][5] and later moved to Mount Juliet, Tennessee, where she died at the age of 74.
The association was largely responsible for the opening of a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988 that honors those who were part of this unique experience.
