They played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League from 1945 to 1954, winning championships in 1947 and 1953.The franchise originated in 1944 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the Milwaukee Chicks. Although the Chicks won the 1944 AAGPBL championship, they could not compete with the minor league Milwaukee Brewers for ticket sales, and the franchise moved to Grand Rapids.
