Thank you Midway Village Museum for having me back for a third World War II Days this weekend to present on Baseball at Manzanar. Everyone, myself included, learns a lot from your thoughtful lineup of presentations and I'm always honored to be invited to participate. Thank you!

Of the 27 baseball games I saw in person this year, 22 were all women on the field. A lot of people have waited a long time for this smallest hint at a level playing field and there is much work still to do.

Researching the exact location, but the baseball diamond once located at 7th and Enos hosted the 1st women's pro baseball game. The nearby sculpture garden is possibly part of the site where the Blondes and the Brunettes faced off in Springfield over 150 years ago. #WBHT

4th in-person WPBL game was a lot of fun. Double plays left and right, 2 grand slams including the walkoff. Even better when spent with Perry and SABR Central Illinois. #WPBL #SABR

I've been talking about the Women's Baseball Heritage Trail for 4 years, but rarely with a focus on Chicago or detailing the gay roots of my fascination with women's baseball. Thank you Babe's Sports Bar for including me and for all you do for women's sports. #BabesSportsBar #ReadBaseball #WBHT

Day 5 was miserably hot and packing up after a week was no fun. But immediately after the last out, I was ready to cry. We did it. We hosted a successful Women's Baseball World Cup. Less than a year to go until the Finals. Join us in Rockford. #BaseballWorldCupW
