Very neat short, short story. I noticed all the comments regarding The All American Girls Professional Baseball League and wanted to inform everyone who might be interested that there IS a new league being formed. Right now it has 6 cities involved, mainly in the Southern US, and this league is being "fronted" by the Majors. I got to meet several of these players; as well as getting to meet some of the Ladies of the old League and get their autographs, when my family and I traveled to St. Louis, MO this past year for the All-Star Game. We went there to see one of our grandson's playing in a special "Little League" series. His team and others in his system are sponsored by the Major League team they represent, his being the Seattle Mariners, as that is where we are all from originally. The Majors take care of ALL the funding for their "little" teams during this series, including getting them there and back home, AND pay for the parents to be with their Child(ren) who are players. However, the players are put up in a separate hotel from the parents during their stay, but do have Chaperones during their entire time. Our grandson's team did much better than the big league team, as they won their all their games but one.

I wondered what's wrong with baseball in skirt and then remembered that in game's choreography is that posing with one knee raised almost to the chin. Don't know why players do this but skirt's definitely not suited for it.
