I loved everything about this book. The softball, the history of the Negro Leagues, the team dynamics, the sleuthing, and how it was all tied together.
My favorite scene was when Cala struck out that loud mouth boy that told the girls they weren’t hitting right. While I have a clear love for baseball, softball and baseball are two different sports, and I don’t understand when people think softball is easier because it’s a “girls” sport.
Did you know: Players in the Negro Leagues and their stats weren’t recognized by MLB until 2020.
