Series 03-08: Whispers of the Beautiful Game

Episode 8: Whispers of the Beautiful Game
The AAGPBL folded at the end of the 1954 season, but that didn’t mean that the Blue Sox were done making an impact in South Bend. We close out the series by following up on the players who remained in town after their playing days were over and continued to touch the community during the years and decades to come. 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.
