@MLBDevelops @MLBRBI @MLB @MLBNetwork @Monee__11 @NLBMuseumKC @nlbmprez @PlayBall Stone wasn't the first woman to play pro ball; plenty of women before her played "pro" baseball, i.e., got paid to play. Pro teams comprising women abounded in the early 20th century: Margaret Nabel managed Bloomer Girls; Maud Nelson, her All Stars; et al. barnesandnoble.com/w/research-not…
@MLBDevelops @MLB @MLBRBI @MLBNetwork @Monee__11 @NLBMuseumKC @nlbmprez @PlayBall Some pretty cool history....
@MLBDevelops @MLBRBI @MLB @MLBNetwork @Monee__11 @NLBMuseumKC @nlbmprez @PlayBall A little more to the story with a NOLA flavor. This is my father, Allen Page, and his connection and relationship to Toni Stone.
@MLBDevelops @MLBRBI @MLB @MLBNetwork @Monee__11 @NLBMuseumKC @nlbmprez @PlayBall Inspiring video about Toni Stone, narrated by Mo'ne Davis! It's amazing to see quotes I've included in my upcoming pic book bio, SWINGING INTO HISTORY, spoken by Toni, and hear gender-barrier-breaking Mo'ne talk about Toni breaking gender barriers in the '50s.
