 “Women and Baseball from Days Gone By”

As Harry Caray would say: “Ah…You can’t beat fun at the old ball park!” 

I don’t know about you, but every once in a while I need a break from looking at male ball players in dirty baggy uniforms every day. And after a lot of “heavy writing” the past couple weeks, I decided I needed a little break…

So here’s a something to “spice things up a bit.” I’m starting a new category, which we can “broadly” (ahem…pardon the pun!) call “Women in Baseball from Days Gone By,” or something like that…

The great featured photo below is one of my favorites which I first posted a couple years ago. In case you missed it then, it’s from a dugout fashion show from the 1940’s at Ebbets Field.

As they used to say back then, “There’s some real ‘lookers’ in that there lineup, I’ll tell ya’!”

The Dodger players and the sports writers in the dugout are sort of pretending not to pay much attention to it, but we know better, don’t we! I can’t make out too many faces in the dugout, although I see Carl Furillo on the far right. The man in the fedora on the left side is Dodger photographer Barney Stein.

Boy…Have times changed or what?? Pretty tame stuff, huh? Can you imagine what something like this would look like today?? Well, as a matter of fact, I can…

Please feel free to add any “snide” remarks in the comments section below. But keep it clean…Remember this is a family operation, ya’ know! Haha!
