The
exhibit runs to August 9,
2009 in Morristown and will
travel cross country with
photos; posters; postcards
and objects that tell this
amazing story of
America's pastime. The first
professional women's
baseball game was played in
Springfield, Illinois. And
believe it or not: women's
baseball has been part of
baseball for almost as long
as there has been baseball.
Here's another nugget for
this very popular category:
Back in 1950; the Boston Red
Sox beat the St. Louis
Browns 29-4 at
Fenway Park and set major
league records for runs
scored; most extra base
hits; 17 ( nine doubles, one
triple and seven home runs
). most total bases, 60;
most runs over two games,
49; and most hits over two
games, 51.
Now that Seattle Mariners
outfielder Ichiro Suzuki set
the major league
hits record for Japanese
players; I think I should
mention ' Pearl Jam ' ( the
modern
rock band from Seattle ).
Their diamond album entitled
' Ten ' was recently
certified by the RIAA for
sales of at least 13 million
and still going strong.
And every now and then I

other 7 or 8% of fiction:
