Practice on the Field.

Practice on the Field.

AAGPBL (All-American Girls Professional Baseball League) unidentified team members are practicing on the field with the player in the center caught in mid-swing. If these are indeed players from the Rockford Peaches, then this could very well be Beyer Stadium, a football field with a running track around it that was known as the "Peach Orchard," located at 245 15th Avenue in Rockford IL. This was the "Home of the Peaches," Rockford's All-American Girls Professional Baseball League team from 1943 to 1954.
