Colorado Silver Bullets

The Colorado Silver Bullets were an American women's baseball team that competed against men's teams for four years, beginning in 1994. Sponsored by a brewing company and managed by Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro, the team was part of a broader history of women participating in organized baseball since the 1860s. Despite the efforts of teams like the Silver Bullets and the earlier All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), women's impact on professional baseball has been limited, partly due to organized baseball's formal ban on women signing contracts with men's teams in 1952. The Colorado Rockies, a professional baseball team based in Denver, are a separate entity that plays in Major League Baseball's National League.123
