Thanks to everyone for making the Beyer Stadium at Maybelle Blair Park groundbreaking event so memorable. We were overwhelmed by the support of local organizations, student volunteers, and passionate speakers. Thank you Rockford for your commitment to leveling the playing field. #APlaceofTheirOwn

The only thing better than celebrating baseball history is being there when it's made. Just missing my friend, Shirley B. Congrats Maybelle Blair, IWBC, and the city of Rockford! #APlaceofTheirOwn

Thanks again to Midway Village for inviting me to World War II Days. I talked about women's baseball in the war effort and how the Peaches' legacy is celebrated and continues to bring international attention to Rockford. 12-year-old me would be geeking out that I'm still doing this work in 2025.
