Welcome to Litsy!

She Loved Baseball was written by Audrey Vernick. This book shares the story of Effa Manley, a young woman who loved baseball. She loved to watch Babe Ruth play. She became her own hero by becoming the manager and owner of the Newark Eagles. She is the first and only women inducted into the baseball hall of fame. I think that this book could inspire young girls to chase their dreams no matter what.

I got my recruitment letter today and I have been drafted to the Arizona Diamondbacks!! I am super excited to be part of this wonderful organization this summer!!

Rare is the day that I don‘t pick up a book, even for a few pages, but today was one of those days. We drove 3 hours to Port Charlotte to watch our alma mater, Ohio State, beat Seton Hall. Baseball is so much better live, and I don‘t regret the missed reading time.

@LauraBeth @AmyG see BASEBALL BUTTS! 😂😂😂😂

I went to my first baseball match tonight, and look what I (sort of) caught. An actual ball. Utterly mad. But brilliant.

A beautiful night at the ballpark!! #gotwins

This is Mrs. Effa Manley - how the hell I never knew about her is mind blowing. She was the co-owner (with her husband) of the NEWARK Eagles; a negro league team. I‘m going to be on the look out for a few books about her. #effamanley #blackgirlsrock #blackwomeninbaseball

I've had to stay off my feet today after getting a cortisone injection in my heel. I thought I would get a lot of reading done, but I haven't really been able to focus on anything. My boys are keeping me company while watching baseball, though, so I can't complain. More luck with the reading tomorrow perhaps. #adventuresofthegmen #lapwarmers #catsoflitsy #cuddlebuddy #besties #hydrokitty #hydrocephalus

Well my cardinals are stinking it up. But at least baseball is here!!

I LOVE BASEBALL!!! So glad it‘s back!!!

Would it be terrible to pull my book out during the Astro's game?

This is the story of Effa Manley who fought for equality in baseball for her Negro League players & was the first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
