Description
In the fourth issue of Ellen Lindner’s exploration of the history of gender rebellion in American Baseball, Lost Diamonds, with the disollution of professional baseball for AFAB,* the battle for parity rests in the Little League fields. Through persistent lawsuits, brave children and their allies chip away at the League’s discrimination, only to have AFAB Softball used as an “equivalent” to AMAB baseball. Finally Title IX arrives…but does that finally mean AFAB baseballers can play at the collegiate level?
Lost Diamonds doesn’t just spit facts, Ellen supports and enhances her deep research with commentary and perspectives. Ellen doesn’t shy away from noting similarities to oppressive moments in the past to events happening today. This issue in particular also spends time investigating why sports are so important, and how exclusion from them can be so damaging.
