  Baseball and Gender
In 1952, when Eleanor Engle was signed to a minor league contract with AA Harrisburg Senators, George Trautman, the baseball commissioner, voided her minor league contract (The Sporting News, July 2, 1952)
Of course, baseball is not the only sport to do this, and because of the equal rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s, women demanded equal federally funded programs in both education and athletics, if not equal opportunity to play on the same team.
Softball (also defined by males in a male system of sport) as the female alternative to baseball illustrates this thinking because it gives a 'female', or softer alternative, to the 'male' sport of baseball rather than recognizing that the two sports are separate and unequal.

In 1952, however, the company reverted back to 252 cards (as it had in its 1950 set).

In today's perspective, the 1952 Bowman set is significantly overshadowed by the competing set issued that year by Topps (but then again, few sets are more favorably regarded than the 1952 Topps).
