Mother: Peter, why aren’t you wearing your favorite skirt?
Peter: The other boys will laugh at me!
Mother: That’s not true. They’ve told me how cute you look in it. You are not leaving the house in those awful old jeans.
Peter: But Mom...
Mother: No buts young man. Go upstairs and change at once!
Peter: But Mom, I can’t wear my favorite skirt when we play baseball!
Mother: Oh...

but in the film they weren't to happy to play in skirts either.

Well he was kind of right though.

in 1943 the All American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed. It was disbanded in 1954 which was really disappointing, because the women of this country need their own professional baseball league today. The AAGPBL was the subject of a movie called A League Of Their Own. But today though, the women would be wearing standard baseball uniforms.

So Peter was right, he can't wear his "favorite" skirt when he is sliding into home.

Thank you for sharing Bru. Your liitle dittys are really cute.

Very neat short, short story. I noticed all the comments regarding The All American Girls Professional Baseball League and wanted to inform everyone who might be interested that there IS a new league being formed. Right now it has 6 cities involved, mainly in the Southern US, and this league is being "fronted" by the Majors. I got to meet several of these players; as well as getting to meet some of the Ladies of the old League and get their autographs, when my family and I traveled to St. Louis, MO this past year for the All-Star Game. We went there to see one of our grandson's playing in a special "Little League" series. His team and others in his system are sponsored by the Major League team they represent, his being the Seattle Mariners, as that is where we are all from originally. The Majors take care of ALL the funding for their "little" teams during this series, including getting them there and back home, AND pay for the parents to be with their Child(ren) who are players. However, the players are put up in a separate hotel from the parents during their stay, but do have Chaperones during their entire time. Our grandson's team did much better than the big league team, as they won their all their games but one.
