Women in Baseball Exhibit |
“There’s no crying in baseball!” That line was spoken by Tom Hanks in one of our favorite movies, “A League of Their Own” and every time we hear it, it makes us double over with laughter. For those who haven’t seen it, “A League of Their Own” is a fictional story about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League which was in action from 1943-1954. Although, the movie is obviously fictional, it provides us with a brief glimpse into the “other” side of America’s favorite pastime, where the gals played while the boys were away.
The City of Fullerton Museum is premiering an exhibit called “Line Drives & Lipstick: The Untold Story of Woman’s Baseball.” The exhibit features 45 images and 10 objects selected from one of the nation’s largest collections of women’s baseball memorabilia. For all you history buffs and baseball fans, make your way over to Fullerton soon as this exhibit will run until March 15, 2009. Click below for more information.
