I totally agree with Joyce....no 'true' ballplayer would ever 'let' someone win as that would be disrespectful to the opposing side, period! Thank you Ms Joyce for leading the way for other women to enjoy the beautiful world of baseball! I played in a women's league for approx 15 years and they were the BEST years of my life (how a blessed Mom and Nana). What is even more important here is that sports build one's character, teach us how to respectfully lose, is just one example of many. God bless you, dear....gentle hugs from Canada
⚾️ ~ It’s crazy how certain types of men throughout generations just repeat their views on masculine women. Nowadays you have conservative men saying how horrible it is for society that women are not catering to their husbands left and right, so when I watched the movie “a league of their own“ just today I couldn’t help but pay attention to how they were saying the back of the 1940s if women played competitive sports that it was the “masculinization of women“.b 😂
Passed away January 2021 at 95. RIP
What a true trailblazer!! And to all the ladies that played this wonderful sport! Rest in peace!!!😊😊❤❤❤
Amen, Joyce.
You gals showed us the way.

Louis Arnold was her teammate from Rhode Island! The ball has her Auto!!!! I would kill for that ball!
Bless her heart.
I so enjoyed this story ⚾🇺
I'm a Grand Rapids native. My dad told me that the Grand Rapids Chicks were immensely popular.
The best women that made the baseball league
Great women 😊
I liked that movie. Great performances from all the all-star cast. Only the maudlin intro and ending prevented it from being a 5-star movie.
The best women of America 🇺🇸
And yet the men still play in pants lol. Love those though girls:)
If it was to happen today, these women would have to play against dudes saying their were women.
The baseballs ⚾️ they are collector items
