I just did some digging around, and it seems like there are very few women's or co-ed teams in the vintage baseball reenacting department out there. In that case, I think we should create our own so we get some more representation out there. Girls definitely did play in the 1860s and 1870s rather openly - just look at Vassar for proof.

So who wants to start a team with me? It may be a few years before we can all get together and play, but we'll see how this goes.
