In 1999 in the western suburbs of Melbourne, 20 of the best women’s baseball players in Victoria would step onto the artificial turf at Melbourne Ballpark in Altona which would begin a legacy that remains unrivalled in the sport in Australia today.  The event - the inaugural Australian Women's Championships.
