Playing The Field
Becoming An All American
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Whenever “League of Their Own” is shown the questions begin. After so many years, I felt the public was entitled to answers although some players accused me of destroying memory of the league.
Following are questions. Was the movie the real thing? Do the managers do this? Were there many “gays”? Some came in “straight” and left gay!
There were broken love affairs. And, a couple very interesting chaperones who calmed very emotional players. Certain ones stopped confession or would look away when passing their church.
There were rough and tumble players. One would huddle down, at far end of dugout, and file her one inch metal spikes to a fine edge.
There were a couple swingers who rushed to waiting cabs when games ended. Several who became quite drunk! I was stuck with a drunken roommate. She eventually moved but not soon enough.
