A life size bronze sculpture of a woman swinging a baseball bat, right handed. Her baseball uniform includes a vintage thigh length dress, cleated shoes, over-the-calf stockings and a baseball cap. She is depicted in after she has stepped into the pitch, in mid-swing. She is standing on a rectangular bronze plinth representing the batter's box. To her right is a five-sided plaque shaped like home plate. The surrounding area is covered with paving stones.
The sculpture was created by Stanley Bleifeld and installed on the grounds of the National Baseball Hall of Fame on May 25, 2006. It honors the members of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, 1942 - 1954.
