Beautiful Broadside.....

I did not realize there were so many women in semi-professional baseball, especially in Pennsylvania. Great image of Myrtle Rowe, who played first base with the boys for the Antler Athletic Club in New Kensington, PA. I had read of men (Smoky Joe Wood, Rogers Hornsby among them) dressing in drag to play with barnstorming Bloomer Girls teams, but seldom about women such as Lizzie Arlington or Jackie Mitchell who competed briefly on men's teams.

April 2, 1931 Mitchell, 17, supposedly strikes out Ruth and Gehrig in an exhibition game: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...-out-babe-ruth
