Far from being strictly a men's sport, baseball has long been enjoyed and played by Americans of all genders and classes since it became popular in the 1830s. This work questions the forces that have kept girls who want to play baseball away from the game. It offers a look at the history of women's exclusion from America's national pastime.

Twenty American women were selected to represent Team USA in the fourth Women's Baseball World Cup in Caracas, Venezuela in 2010; most Americans, however, had no idea such a team even existed. A Game of Their Own chronicles the largely invisible history of women in baseball and offers an account of the 2010 Women's World Cup tournament.
