Join us for an exhilarating conversation with Lara Griffin, RPL podcast host, and historian Dr. Kat Williams. Women's baseball has been a lifelong passion for Kat, beginning when she was a girl playing in the streets and fields around her home. This dedication led her to author three books on women who have been a part of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). In this episode, she discusses her latest work, All the Way: The Life of Baseball Trailblazer Maybelle Blair, showcasing her commitment to women's sports and her mission to uncover these hidden stories.
Tune in for this meaningful conversation and mark your calendar for the upcoming event! The Rockford Public Library will host a book launch party on March 21 at the Nordlof Center. Don't miss the opportunity to meet Dr. Williams, purchase your copy of All the Way, and discover Maybelle's incredible journey!
