Synopsis

When Linda Sunshine takes the field for the Chicago Eagles, she knows she'll face challenges as a woman on a man’s team. But nothing could have prepared her for the stubborn refusal of her teammates to play alongside her, or the dangerous machinations of her nemesis, Merle Isemonger.

Even her team's owner, Al Mowerinski, has kept a major league secret from her.

Full of warmth, humor, tough sentiment, and excellent baseball, She's on First is a classic baseball book, an inspiring story that will leave readers cheering for Linda, the team, and the challenge. If you enjoyed A League of Their Own, you'll love this heartwarming tale of one woman's determination to make it in the big leagues.

About this title

About the Author

Barbara Gregorich is the author of She's on First, a well-received mainstream novel about the first female major leaguer. After writing a novel about the subject, Gregorich wondered whether there really were women who played baseball. Her curiosity led to four years of intensive research and the publication of the ground-breaking nonfiction book on the subject, Women at Play: The Story of Women in Baseball. This book won the SABR-MacMillan Baseball Research Award after its publication in 1993. In addition to writing adult fiction and nonfiction, Gregorich also writes children's fiction and nonfiction. She has published more than 150 texts and activity books. Among her many books for children are two humorous early readers, Waltur Buys a Pig in a Poke and Other Stories and Waltur Paints Himself into a Corner and Other Stories.
