“Her mom told her she had to stop playing baseball because it was too dirty, and ice skate," she said."She did and she won first in the state. This is who Toni Stone was.”“There’s this movie called, ‘A League of Their Own’, about a white team. They would not let her play in that league, you know, she was Black," he said."She said ‘I don’t care, I’m gonna play with the guys.
