by Barbara Gregorich (Author)
This eye-opening collection of original author research on women pioneers in sports - specifically baseball - excites fans and historians as well as English teachers and those interested in the spectacular days of barnstorming baseball teams and bloomer girl players.
Original newspaper and magazine articles are spiced with the delightful language of late 1800s journalism and bring to life many hard-fought games. Lop-sided ones, too.
Coast-to-coast train journeys with games scheduled at every whistle-stop town demonstrate the guts and grit of these early baseball players - who just happened to be women.
Fascinating baseball details from the past. Primary source materials for English teachers and all those interested in women in sports.
For this research as well as for her other writings on women in baseball, Barbara Gregorich received the 2024 SABR Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award.Author Biography
