I know a woman who was, in her youth, one of the girls from "A Game of Their Own." She was a terrific baseball player and was one of the first recruited to go on tour with the women's baseball teams. Her parents were dead and she lived with her brother, all staunch Catholics who could not imagine a girl traveling on her own from town to town playing baseball. Consequently they declined and she never went. But she was something of a women's baseball legend and this week was asked to throw the first ball out at the Pirate opener.
She uses a walker now, says she is too old and weak and doesn't want to embarrass herself...BUT...her friends brought her some balls and gloves and she's practicing, just in case.
