“With its economy of language and telling period details,
this book provides an exciting slice of sports history and an appealing
bit of Americana, and vividly conveys the spirit of one great little

assumed many of their jobs; Rappaport and Callan enthusiastically
invent a fictional witness to that historical moment when baseball,
too, was taken over by women.”
