Beyer Stadium

Beyer Stadium was the home of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League's Rockford Peaches from 1943 to 1954. The stadium has been restored and is now home to the Rockford Starfires Women's Hardball/Baseball League.

The Rockford Peaches, a top-flight women's baseball team formed in 1943 by Chicago Cubs owner Phil Wrigley, started a run which lasted for 12 years, calling Beyer Stadium on 15th Avenue in Rockford, Illinois, home. The team was featured in the movie A League of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks, Madonna, Geena Davis and Rosie O'Donnell.

The team's uniform consisted of a peach colored dress featuring the Rockford city seal centered on the chest, along with red socks and cap. In later years, the Peaches wore a white home uniform with black socks and cap. The Peaches won the league championship in 1945, 1948, 1949, and 1950. (Wikipedia.com)
