WBL Memories

A tribute to the pioneers of the Women's Professional Basketball League (1978-81)

WBL Photo Gallery

I'm looking for WBL photos and video:  Players, coaches, officials, games, fans, you name it.   If you've got pix, please email me about helping arrange for their preservation.  Also, if you can add or correct information to photos posted here, please let me know.

Note:  These pages contain photos involving the league itself.  Most individual team photos have been moved to those pages.

Actor Mike Connors, co-owner of the San Francisco Pioneers, checks out the action during a second season game in Chicago.

First Season WBL:  Bill Eaton (scouting), Larry Jones (player operations, scouting), unknown, Kate McEnroe (public relations), Bill Byrne (Commissioner), Dave Almstead (vice president, director of marketing/licensing), unknown, James McNamee (director of expansion), Marguerite Keeley (Milwaukee Does player).

1978-79 MVP Rita Easterling (Chicago Hustle) does her thing...

...and 1979-80 co-MVP Ann Meyers (New Jersey) does hers.
