On this day in 1925 the Philadelphia Bobbies, a majority woman semi-pro team from Philly, played their final game of a barnstorming tour around Japan. The Bobbies were made of girls/women whose ages ranged from 13 to mid-20s. Edith Houghton, the star 13-year old shortstop, recounted details of the trips in a diary that is now in the possession of the Hall of Fame.
