Listen "16. Jenny Fulle: Little Girls vs Little League"
Episode Synopsis
It's 1974, and Jenny Fulle wants to play ball... Little League baseball.
With the boys.
That's gonna be a problem. Undaunted by being rejected at every turn, she writes a letter to President Nixon setting in motion a chain of events that would eventually lead her to being the first girl to ever legally play Little League. She was a pioneer 50 years ago and continues that to this day as a visual effects producer for such Major Motion Pictures as Apollo 13, Seabiscuit, Lord of the Rings and many more.
It's a great chat with a girl who just wanted to have fun... playing with the boys... and hitting dingers... Join us for an illuminating conversation with a woman who changed the sports landscape for girls half a century ago on the Past Our Prime podcast.
