The North American Women's Baseball League (NAWBL) was an amateur baseball league that played from 2003 to 2009. The NAWBL played games scheduled for seven innings, using NCAA rules, including base-stealing and taking leads off bases. Lineup rules allowed liberal substitutions and unlimited re-entry into games, and all players were guaranteed some playing time in each game. The season ran from June through August. Robin Wallace was the organizer and Executive Director, and Al Melanson was the Commissioner.

  • The North American Women's Baseball League (NAWBL) was an amateur baseball league that played from 2003 to 2009. The NAWBL played games scheduled for seven innings, using NCAA rules, including base-stealing and taking leads off bases. Lineup rules allowed liberal substitutions and unlimited re-entry into games, and all players were guaranteed some playing time in each game. The season ran from June through August. Robin Wallace was the organizer and Executive Director, and Al Melanson was the Commissioner. Players varied in age from high-school freshman to early forties. Some traveled from as far as Connecticut or central New Hampshire. Several players made boys' or men's teams at school. The league was competitive but friendly; arguments with umpires and with opponents were unheard-of. Selected players organized outside the regulation season and entered tournaments; they competed throughout the United States and in Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Japan. Quality of play was variable, as the league existed not just for good players who have no other outlet to play baseball but to train new players. Ground outs were executed crisply and double plays were routine. Base running was excellent and was often drilled during the year. But a team could have an outfielder who didn't know where a fly ball would land and was coached into position. Starting pitching was a specialty rather than a shared duty, and several players became dominant as starters. Control was intermittent and a NAWBL rule adopted in 2008 required a pitcher who issued five walks in an inning to be replaced. The squads, named Outlaws (red/black), Ravens (gold/navy), Saints (green), and Seahawks (turquoise) were chosen at the start of the year for parity. Trades between teams during a season almost never happened. The teams were run by the league; although some attracted their own fans and chart-keepers, they didn't promote themselves separately. The league did a minimum of self-promotion. They played day and evening games, with lights, the scoreboard, and an announcer. (en)
