I had a full circle moment this week watching the WPBL draft and visiting Ann Harnett's grave. Before becoming a Sister of Charity, Ann was the first player signed to the AAGPBL in 1943. She played 5 seasons in the league for Kenosha and Peoria. #AAGPBL #WomeninBaseball #DirtintheSkirt

When I used to be a librarian, I could not wait to tackle students' papers with my freak knowledge of proper citation formatting. Next to kidney stones, it's now the most painful thing I put myself through every year. SABR book contribution revisions have been sent. Happy early Thanksgiving. ⚾📖

Brian and I set up recurring donations to a local food bank today and now off to fill neighborhood pantries with shirts, food, scarves, & caps. Sharing not for you to tell us we're good people, but as a call to do all you can to help & protect your community. The smallest effort can be life saving.
