Series 03-06: The Dutiful Dozen

Episode 6: The Dutiful Dozen
1952 was the most dramatic year in the history of the Blue Sox – a season filled with strife, interpersonal drama, and a player walkout that left the Blue Sox massively shorthanded heading into the playoffs. Sources include The South Bend Blue Sox by Jim Sargent; The Dutiful Dozen by W.C. Madden; archived newspapers including (but not limited to) the South Bend Tribune, Chicago Tribune, Kenosha News, and Racine Journal-Times; the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Players' Association (aagpbl.org); and Grand Valley State University Digital Collections.
