Breaking Into Baseball by Jean Hastings Ardell
While baseball is traditionally perceived as a game to be played, enjoyed, and reported from a masculine perspective, it has long been beloved among women - more so than any other spectator sport. Breaking into Baseball: Women and the National Pastime upends baseball's accepted history to at last reveal just how involved women are, and have always been, in the American game.
Jean Hastings Ardell frequently writes and lectures on women’s contributions to baseball. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Sporting News, Elysian Fields Quarterly, Nine: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture, and in the anthologies Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend: Women Writers on Baseball and Growing Up with Baseball: How We Loved and Played the Game. In 1999, she earned the Society for American Baseball Research/USA Today Baseball Weekly Award for Research for her article, ""Lefthander Ila Borders: Crossing Baseball’s Gender Line from Little League to the Northern League."" Ardell lives in Corona Del Mar, California, with her husband, a former first baseman for the Anaheim Angels.
