I had a full circle moment this week watching the WPBL draft and visiting Ann Harnett's grave. Before becoming a Sister of Charity, Ann was the first player signed to the AAGPBL in 1943. She played 5 seasons in the league for Kenosha and Peoria. #AAGPBL #WomeninBaseball #DirtintheSkirt

We visited the Illinois Railway Museum on my birthday a few weeks ago. Rode a train, saw tons of cool stuff, but near and dear, had a meet and greet with the Nebraska Zephyr used in A League of Their Own. Dreams come true. #WomeninBaseballWeek

I got to play curator this summer thanks to friends at Rockford Public Library and design a mini exhibit that highlights what's in the IWBC archive. #WomeninBaseballWeek #LoveYourLibrary #ReadBaseball #WIBW2025
