Beyer Stadium was the home of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League's Rockford Peaches from 1943 to 1954. The stadium has been restored and is now home to the Rockford Starfires Women's Hardball/Baseball League. 

The Rockford Peaches, a top-flight women's baseball team formed in 1943 by Chicago Cubs owner Phil Wrigley, started a run which lasted for 12 years, calling Beyer Stadium on 15th Avenue in Rockford, Illinois, home. The team was featured in the movie A League of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks, Madonna, Geena Davis and Rosie O'Donnell.
