Morgue of Her Own
(Props to Monty)
Dorothy Kamenshek, who inspired the lead character in A League of Their Own, has died. Kamenshek played first base for the Rockford Peaches of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League from 1943 to 1951 and 1953, winning 2 batting titles and making seven All-Star teams. She didn’t let the uniform’s skirts stop her on the basepaths, stealing 109 bases in 1946.
