Sounds of America’s pastime: the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the cheers of “Atta girl!”
"Linedrives and Lipstick: The Untold Story of Women’s Baseball" documents this forgotten side of America’s pastime with objects selected from one of the nation’s largest collections of women’s baseball memorabilia. “Linedrives and Lipstick” celebrates the legends and landmarks of the dedicated women athletes, who hit, fielded, slid, and caught with passion.
