Inspired by the movie Hidden Figures, we are bringing you a women's baseball story you didn't know you needed to know. As we did with our Effa Manly episode last April, we are doing this episode in the style of one of our favorite podcasts, The History Chicks. Check out photos and videos of Mary "Bonnie" Baker on the Women Belong in Baseball Pinterest page. Links to things we discussed today:

• The movie A League of Their Own (It is the highest grossing baseball film of all time. No, it is not the highest grossing film by a female director, I checked, that honor belongs to Frozen.)
• Bonnie Baker on What's My Line?
