The following books are now available in paperback.
A Game of Their Own: Voices of Contemporary Women in Baseball
By Jennifer Ring
“This revealing book, which makes an important contribution to sports and women’s history, will interest anyone curious about an overlooked segment of amateur athletics.”—Craig Clark, Booklist
“A Game of Their Own is an engaging and well-written chronicle of women’s baseball in the United States.”—Maria J. Veri, Journal of Sport History
“A Game of Their Own reveals a thrilling and too-long-hidden part of our collective sports history. We owe Jennifer Ring a debt of gratitude for assembling this terrific text. We owe a similar debt to the women in these pages who fiercely and rebelliously love a sport that for too long has refused to return their affections. I don’t think a person can say they have a comprehensive sports history library without the inclusion of A Game of Their Own.”—Dave Zirin, sports editor of The Nation

“Al Clark never threw me out of a game, but Billy Martin wasn’t so fortunate. I not only witnessed his confrontations with Al but enjoyed remembering them in this book.”—Ron Blomberg, first designated hitter
