Many thanks to Bridgewater State University for hosting the Women's Baseball Heritage Trail this week. The women's baseball collection there is outstanding and I learned so much. Baseball research friends, please make a point to visit them and support their women's sports related projects.

On February 22, 2014, a group of women gathered in California, and over pizza and beer, dreamed up an organization that would both preserve the past and promote the future of girls and women in baseball. Join us in celebrating our Founders Day and creating #APlaceofTheirOwn.
