Starting part 2, finally! This book either drags its feet or runs like the wind... there's really no in between.

As a relatively young person who has been slowly becoming more disabled, sitting here with my cane within arm's reach, page 101 made me cry. Not in a bad way, just... she gets it. It's nice to feel understood, even if it's by a fictional character.

So, I love baseball. Have since I was 8 years old. When A League of Their Own came out, I was one happy little girl! Somehow, I never realized that the ladies of the AAGPBL were NOT the first female ball players. I just learned about Alta Weiss (pg. 167 of this book) who, at the age of 17, in 1907, became a pitcher for the semipro Vermilion Independents. You go, girl!

Getting there...

I just can't get into this book. Just can't. It's going in the dnf shelf. I have so many others to read, I'm not going to waste my time.

One of the most fascinating books I've read this year.

Fascinating book, but, like a lot of non-fiction, it's slow going.
