Swinging Into History: Toni Stone: Big-League Baseball's First Woman Player
by Karen L. Swanson
informative
inspiring
Picked this up while hanging out with my kid at the library, a little too old for him, but I wanted to learn more about the first woman to play pro baseball! As the only girl on my little league team as a kid, plus someone who had always been obsessed with old-timey baseball, I can’t believe I didn’t know that any women played in the Negro Leagues until a few years ago. This is a great introduction to Toni Stone, although the most interesting bits were the additional information and author’s notes in the back. The story itself ended abruptly and there was a lot of slang without context, but otherwise I enjoyed it.
