Gail at the Game
When I was nine, Dad went away.A lot of men did.It was 1942, and there was a big war.
Mom and I stayed at home.I sent notes to Dad.I liked to tell him about classes and about our gray cat, Snail.
Playing Baseball
A lot of what I sent Dad was about baseball.Dad had helped train me when he was at home.
The boys in my class were rude.Ray and Duke said, "Gail, girls cannot play baseball! Get lost!"But I still played at home until Dad left.
Then Mom and I went on a trip to a big park.It had a field with grass.I did not believe it.
"This is a baseball game," I said."But there are no men left to play!"
"Take a close look at the players," said Mom.
I peered at the field and had a shock!They had long hair and dresses!Then Mom explained things.
When war came, male players went away just as Dad had.But people still wished to see games.Women wished to play.A man arranged games with just women.
