Author Barbara Gregorich takes us back to 1934 when three teenage girls (one from Illinois, one from Indiana, one from West Virginia) played hardball on the last traveling bloomer girl baseball team. Their stories include abandonment, loss at sea, early triumphs, world war, and, always, baseball. Margaret, Nellie, and Rose came from different backgrounds and had different reasons for playing baseball. When the season was over they followed different paths — but playing baseball profoundly affected their lives and even helped determine their careers. This talk, accompanied by slides, will leave audiences deeply moved and amazed. To register or get more info go to www.frankfortlibrary.org, call 815-534-6173, or visit the Adult Services Desk.
