Between 1895 and 1935, the Bloomers Girls baseball team toured throughout the United States, Mexico, and Venezuela, playing exhibition games against semi-professional and amateur teams. Some male players disguised themselves as women to join the Bloomers Girls team. The Bloomers Girls were also the first baseball team at any level to play night games. In 1908, Maude Nelson became the first woman to play on a professional baseball team that included male players. In the 1920s, some women's baseball teams from factories in Philadelphia, such as the Bobbies Sox, also played games against male teams, including international games in Japan.
