@JohnJohnd1946 @FDRLST @LLinWood @ToddMcMurtry @N1ckSandmann Fun Fact: When I was 6, I played as the only girl on the all-boys little league team. They didn't have softball open to girls until 9 and my mom thought it was stupid, so she signed me up with my initials. I showed up & they didn't know what to do. So I played. 1/
@JohnJohnd1946 @FDRLST @LLinWood @ToddMcMurtry @N1ckSandmann 2/ Next year, another girl, following several more & then they made it open to both. ERA was being pushed then & local femi-nazis wanted my mom to help push. She demurred. What, don't you want to be equal to men, they asked? Mom: "No, I don't want to lower my standards."
@JohnJohnd1946 @FDRLST @LLinWood @ToddMcMurtry @N1ckSandmann 3/3 And of course I still remember Howie ----- crying b/c a girl put him out.
