E12: The Hidden Figures of Baseball Part 2


Listen Later

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 Julie Croteau on the Women Belong in Baseball Pinterest page. Links to things we discussed today:

  • The biography YouTube Video done by students
  • The Washington Post article on what the high school softball team thought of the lawsuit.
  • Some information on Title IX
  • If the Fredericksburg Giants are still in existence, I could find no current link to them.
  • Julie's IMDB page
  • The Colorado Silver Bullets
  • The Hawaii winter baseball league Julie and a teammate were invited to play in no longer exists.
  • The U.S. Women's National Team
