A regular reminder that the AAGPBL was segregated wire to wire, and not one player put their career on the line to challenge it.

Bless them for their efforts as professional ballplayers, but really, exactly none of these women were allies beyond the color of their skin.

Pinkwashing and revisionism has served the league well in more recent times. It doesn't change facts.

Everyone makes their own legacy. Some people are built a whole lot more brave than others. Bless 'em all.

I found some peeps… wonder if there are any out there?

I made a first baseman named after my Dad and brought him up on to take Tito to the World Series. Took me a season and a half.

Now I’m playing as a two way pitcher named Ricky Vaughn.

Look I am this nerd. I just wish I could play an version.
