This eye-opening collection of
original author research
materials on
women pioneers in sports
excites baseball fans and historians as well as English teachers and fans interested in the brassy, sassy women who had the audacity to play on men's baseball teams rather than on bloomer girl teams. Among them:
-
Alta Weiss
, the Ohio-born future doctor whose father bought her a baseball team so she could pitch to her heart's content.
Jackie Mitchell
, the shy Southerner who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in an exhibition game.
Babe Didrikson
, the not-at-all-shy Southerner who, after her Olympic Games wins, pitched batting practice for several Major League teams, then turned to barnstorming with the House of David Baseball Team.
Original newspaper and magazine articles sparkle with sports terms of the 1910s-
Fascinating baseball details from the past. Primary source materials for English teachers and all those interested in
women in sports
.
For her research and writings on women in baseball, Barbara Gregorich received the 2024 SABR Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award.
