Held on International Women’s Day, this special event will show guests how
the women’s movement played a significant role in the history of baseball.
Members of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, including Ruth
Richard, former catcher for the Rockford Peaches and a six- time all star, and
Gertrude (Alderfer) Benner, a member of the Kalamazoo Lassies, Springfield
Sallies, and Chicago Colleens, will share stories about their history-making
experiences and will provide baseball tips for guests.
Participants can also
take etiquette classes, just as the Women’s League players did, and watch A
League of Their Own during this fun-filled event.
