THIS IS INTERESTING
I like the progam that sends articles to my “homepage” on the net. Lots of stuff I wouldn’t run across otherwise, to expand the horizon.
This one’s particularly good.
“The Hidden History of ‘A League of Their Own.”
Check it out. You’ll like it. And you’ll be educated. This historian likes that history like this is finally “out there.”

Wonderful story. Great history of women in baseball too.
My oldest son was gay. He was a
progressive force in the NYS Dept. of Family Services. He passed away 4 years ago.
Gay, queer, trans...these are all
people. Why is it so important to
tag them and demean them, by
so many others? How many of
these others have gay, queen and trans in their families but are
too afraid to admit it!?
So many gay, queen and trans are great people. They are our
equals and should be treated
as such.
Happy Mother's Day to all the
Moms who stand by their gay,
queen and trans children.❤💩
Thanks for this post, TC. I have a high school classmate whose Mom played for 3 years in the League. The softball field at Wilson Elementary school (Medford Oregon) is named for her.
A lot of us lesbians ended up playing sports. I remember as a high schooler playing on an adult softball team that I had several people warn me that “there are couples out there”. I’ve been fortunate that I’ve been able to be “out” all of my adult life both personally and professionally. I thank all those that went before me.
