Toni Stone was the first woman to play #baseball regularly in a major men's professional baseball league. The player she replaced at 2nd base when she joined the Negro American League? None other than the great Hank Aaron (who moved to the #MLB). She was born #OTD in 1921. #SportsHistory I ❤️ ⚾
A dynamic, full-length black-and-white historical photograph of Marcenia Lyle "Toni" Stone (July 17, 1921 – November 2, 1996), famously known as the first woman to play regular professional baseball in a major men's league. Captured mid-motion from a low angle, she is suspended in the air with her legs wide apart in a star-like jump above the baseline. Her right arm is raised high behind her head, tightly gripping a baseball, while her left arm is fully extended outward for balance, clad in a large leather fielder's mitt. She wears a vintage mid-20th-century baseball uniform featuring the word "Clowns" scripted across the jersey above the prominent number 29, paired with a dark long-sleeve undershirt, a matching cap, a dark belt, and cleated athletic shoes. Her mouth is open in intense concentration, her eyes focused sharply ahead. The background reveals an outdoor playing field bordered by a low outfield wall adorned with hand-painted advertising signs, including readable text for "Country Club". The overall composition freezes a high-energy, powerful athletic feat, radiating a triumphant and groundbreaking mood that encapsulates her historical significance as a barrier-breaking pioneer in the Negro Leagues.

The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center has resigned over US involvement in the Iran War. A blow for Trump.
Director of National Intelligence
National Counterterrorism Center
President Trump,
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.
Early in this administration, high-ranking Isracli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we …
