Transcribed by: Joan Raymer, March 12, 2011 Interviewer: “Gloria can you begin by giving us some background on yourself? To start with, where and when were you born?” I was born on Staten Island, New York on September 1931 Interviewer: “And what did your family do for a living at that time?” My father, he worked, as a carpenter in New York City and my mother was a homemaker with eleven children, you know, it was about all she had time to do. Interviewer: “Did your father have work during the thirties? Could he keep you fed?” Yes he did and he was very good at that. He had a good job and the money at that time was nothing like today, but it was sufficient for that time period. Interviewer: “How did you wind up getting started in sports?” Well, I was one of eleven children, I have five sisters and five brothers and my three younger brothers were very close to my age, so I spent a lot of time with them. My two older brothers, they were professional baseball players and I use to watch them all the time. One was a pitcher and he showed me how to throw different pitches. 14:03 Interviewer: “And did you get to play baseball with them?” I got to play with my younger brothers and our friends in the area. You know, just pickup games—choose sides and find an empty field where you could play and that was 1 �about most of it. We didn’t have anything for girls in that time period. Girls were just not allowed to play ball or be on boys teams and there were no sports for girls in the schools. Interviewer: “By the time you got to the high school level there were some girls sports and opportunities that weren’t there before.” Not at the school I went to, no, and I don’t think any of the schools on Staten Island had girls sports just yet. Interviewer: “What about youth groups or things like that?” Well, like I said, the boys, they belonged to the youth groups, the PAL, the CYL, and they tried to get me on their team because I was their pitcher. The same thing there, no girls were allowed. 15:02 Interviewer: “Ok, could you play other sports with some of these groups, basketball or softball?” Yes, they had basketball for the girls at the time at that was at the PAL center and I just got to meet these girls through my playing softball in the street. Someone that was managing the girls’ softball team asked me if I was interested in playing, so I said, “yes”, and that’s how I met some of my friends from the other part of Staten Island. Of course, we didn’t have a car and at that point we didn’t even really have bicycles, but you didn’t really get to see too many people out of your own area. Interviewer: “So, if you were going to go play softball with these people, how would you get to the games?” I did a lot of walking and if it was pretty far you could get a bus for five cants at the time, so that wasn’t too bad. 15:56 2 �Interviewer: “Now, as you were getting into your teenage years, you’re playing in different ways, did you know anything about the Girls All American Baseball League?” No, I had no idea of this baseball league, not until 1949. There were two touring teams that were touring the east coast and they came to Staten Island and they played a game at one of our baseball fields. It was advertised in the local paper, so a few of my friends and myself, we went to watch the game. Before the game started they asked if anyone was interested in trying out to come down on the field and they would take a look at you. Interviewer: “So, you went to this game without even expecting to tryout?” Definitely, just to watch a girl’s game that we never even knew existed. Interviewer: “So, how do they handle the tryouts? What do they do?” First he asked if anyone pitched with a baseball, knowing that not too many girls played baseball, so I told him I did, but like I always say, if he asked if anyone could catch, I would have said yes. It wouldn’t have been the truth, but I would have learned in a hurry. 17:10 Interviewer: “So, what happened at the tryout?” At tryouts he just had me thow a few pitches and he told me I’d hear from them and in a few weeks I did. I received a contract and I was told to go to South Bend, Indiana where they had tryouts for all the girls they picked up on these tours, so all the girls that tried out like I did, were in South Bend, Indiana in May the following year just before spring training started. The managers down there would watch us for whatever positions we played and they could choose what they needed to fill their teams. 17:50 3 �Interviewer: “Now at that point were their some people who were getting cut and didn’t get to make the team? If they got the kind of invitation you got were they probably going to play?” No, everyone was still afraid of being cut whether you signed any forms of any type, you were still eligible to be cut, but I was put on the Muskegon Lassies team and they put me on a bus to where Muskegon had their spring training and Max Carey was manager of the Fort Wayne Daisies at the time and that’s who we were having our training with. Interviewer: “So, you had the two teams training together?” Yes Interviewer: “Do you remember where it was you were doing that?” Cape Girardeau, Missouri Interviewer: “What was at Cape Girardeau?” Actually, not too much, coming from New York. One of the big rivers there, I believe it was the Mississippi and I said, “Wow, I get to see the Mississippi River”, and that was nothing I expected to do. 18:57 Interviewer: “So, what was it like for you? A lot of the women who joined the league came from small towns or the country or wherever, but come from the big city, so what sort of adjustments did you have to make when you left home and went out there?” Not really too much, I mean—see, New York City is five boroughs and Staten Island is more small town than the other four boroughs, so it wasn’t that much different. Interviewer: “Describe, a little bit, the experience in Cape Girardeau. What was it like? What was the weather like? What were the facilities like?” 4 �The weather was nice down there and we trained outside except for one day we had rain and we had indoor facilities to work in, in case of rain. You couldn’t do as much as you did outside, but it was sufficient. 19:53 Interviewer: “All right, now, when you were down there in training, were all the veteran players there too?” Yes, they were there already. Interviewer: “Were their any particular players or people who paid attention to you or game you some coaching or were you just all working individually?” Are you talking about before or when I got there? Interviewer: “When you got there.” Before, I had some pretty good coaching. When I got there they just, you know, had us work out with the veterans at our own positions. They would have us slight pitch to the veterans and that was kind of scary because these girls were good and I didn’t have any formal experience what so ever, but it worked out ok. After we trained for a couple of days we would have games against Fort Wayne and I was complimented by Max Carey at that point because he came up to me in the hotel after the game and he said, “I know a lot of you young ladies don’t know if you’re going to play or be sent home, but don’t you worry, you will not be sent home, because if they release you, I’ll pick you up”, so that felt pretty good. 21:07 Interviewer: “What pitches did you throw?” My brother taught me to throw a curve ball, a knuckle ball; I had a pretty good fastball, and once in a while what we always called a drop, which drops straight down, not break sideways. 5 �Interviewer: “Once you completed training in Cape Girardeau, did you immediately go up to Muskegon or what did you do next?” We went up to Muskegon and the season started. Interviewer: “Did you do any barnstorming along the way? Did you play games in route or just go on up north?” I think we went right up to Muskegon. We finished all of spring training and went right on up to Muskegon and the season was just getting ready to start. 21:51 Interviewer: “What kinds of rules and regulations did they have in place still for the women on these teams?” They had a lot more before I got there, thankfully, but we did have rules. We had to always appear in feminine attire in public and you weren’t supposed to swear or drink or smoke in public, which I didn’t do any of those things anyway, I was only eighteen and it didn’t affect me. There were rules to always be on good behavior, they didn’t want rowdiness and stuff like that. They wanted you to appear in public as a lady and that, you know. We always say they wanted us to look like ladies and play like men. Interviewer: “Did they have a chaperone for the team?’ There was always a chaperone, yes; in case a girl got hurt she would be there to take care of her. She took care of our housing for us and when we were on the road she would take care of the rooms and make sure everybody had their rooms and in the hotels they could make sure you met your curfew and stuff like that. You had a curfew after games, which was plenty of time. 23:04 On the road there wasn’t too much you could do anyway. Interviewer: “Did you like the chaperones? Were they good people?” 6 �Oh, they were fine, and some of them were ball players themselves, so they knew what we were going through and how to handle everything and they were like a second mother to us. Interviewer: “Do you remember playing your first regular season game?” No, because I wasn’t in the starting rotation, and I was always told that I was going to be ready to be the relief pitcher certain nights and I just never really got into the game. I must have gotten into five games in Kalamazoo because there was a record for five games. At that point we had moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan. Interviewer: “You were at Muskegon first, right?” Muskegon, and I guess they weren’t doing well as far as drawing crowds and they were looking for a new city to try to play in and they tried out Kalamazoo and drew very good crowds there. 24:12 I guess they talked it over and Kalamazoo became the Kalamazoo Lassies. They were still going strong after the 1954 season and we would have kept playing. We were doing very well financially. Interviewer: “What were the fans like? What do you remember about them?” They were great. You know how some people thought they would heckle and stuff like that, and that may have happened in the beginning, but like I say, I wasn’t there and fortunately or unfortunately, however you want to look at it, I missed a lot of that. I never met a fan that, you know, would heckle anyone or ridicule or make comments that we not complementary, but I thought our fans were great. 25:03 Interviewer: “And what kinds of people liked to come to the games? Were they older, younger, kids, men, women?” 7 �You had families coming to the games, you had men, you had young boys, teenagers and the young girls were very interested and their parents would come with them, so it was really a family atmosphere. Interviewer: “How long did you play or what years did you play?” I played the last five years of the league, 1950 through 1954. Interviewer: “Ok, and over the course of that time you moved around a certain amount? You mentioned having your team move from Muskegon to Kalamazoo, but did you play for other teams as well?” Yes I did, after we moved to Kalamazoo, it was a couple of weeks after that, I was told that Racine needed a couple of pitchers and that I was being sent up there because they were making trades for infielders, which Kalamazoo needed. That’s the way they, at that point in time, tried to keep the teams balanced, which would make for better baseball. 26:05 Make it more competitive rather than have one team loaded up like the Yankees you know, and they kept it pretty good that way. Interviewer: “Now when you went to Racine, was that when you really got to pitch more?” Yes, I was put right in the rotation up in Racine, so that was a good move for me at that time. Interviewer: “Do you remember any of the starts that you make or the games that you played when you first started?” I know I did pretty well—I pitched the—I started ten games after that, I had five wins and five losses, but that doesn’t really tell the story. I had pitched some good games, but I 8 �pitched against some pros, who were also very good pitchers, and I thought that was good for me at that time. 26:55 Interviewer: “Did you have good defense behind you?” Yes, in Racine I had very good defense behind me. In Kalamazoo we had a lot of rookies and I think the reason for that was, the man that took over was from the touring teams and he said that his girls on tour could compete in the league, so he picked up a lot of the girls that came up from the tour and made it into the league and he picked a lot of those up with me, someone who hadn’t played at all, but you know, it was just one of those things. It wasn’t a good offensive team basically and defensively we had some very good players. Interviewer: “But you would have some good infielders to spare to send over to Kalamazoo when they sent their extra pitchers.” Right Interviewer: “What kind of living arrangements did you have in these places?” We lived with host teams, with host families, sorry. That was a job for the chaperone. They would advertise for anyone who had extra rooms and would like to host a ball player and the chaperone would have to check them out and be sure they had the rooms and that they weren’t putting some of their own family member out. 28:17 I guess that was a big job for her, but in Kalamazoo I don’t think you could go wrong no matter who you stayed with. That was a fantastic town. Interviewer: “Now, was Racine different as a place to stay?” No, I stayed with a good host family there. The woman had an older son, he was in the navy and there was another ball player there at the time, so there were two of us staying 9 �at that house. I was just like—in Racine though it was harder to get around and you needed a car or had to know the bus routes and things like that. Interviewer: “When you were living in Racine, could you get a day and go down to Chicago or did you just pretty much stay there?” You pretty much stayed there. The only traveling I did was when we were traveling on the road. 29:01 Interviewer: “All right, and how did they get you from place to place when you were playing on the road?” Well, we used basically Greyhound buses or that type of bus to get us back and forth. When we got back to Kalamazoo, the following year, they had their own bus, so we had a little better bus ride because they took some seats out and put a refrigerator in and had it loaded with soda and then in the back they put a table and some of us liked to play cards. I liked to, but I couldn’t get to the back of the bus because I would get motion sickness, so I had to have the front seat. Interviewer: “So, did you spend the last part of one season with Racine?” Yes Interviewer: “Did they move you someplace else the next year? Then what happened?” 30:00 Over the winter Racine moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, so I reported to Battle Creek and I guess, maybe close to halfway through the season I was asked to go back to Kalamazoo and I said, “that’s fine with me, you want me to play here, you want me to play there, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m playing”, so I did, I went back to Kalamazoo. The next three years I stayed with Kalamazoo. 10 �Interviewer: “Now, while you were with Kalamazoo the second time, did you now get to start on a regular basis?” Oh yes, I was right—the starting pitcher right from the beginning. Interviewer: “What do you think was your best season?” My best season was my third season, 1952. I pitched twenty-four consecutive complete games. Interviewer: “Did you have a sore arm or anything else like that?” In the five years that I played, I never had a sore arm and never had any sores or problems physically. 31:04 Interviewer: “Twenty-four complete games, I guess back then you had major league pitchers who would do that kind of thing?” They did the same thing back then, they pitched the complete games unless they had to make a change, and today it’s just a six-inning game. Interviewer: “You held-up that much longer. Did any of the teams you were with manage to get to a championship game?” Kalamazoo won the championship the last year, 1954. Interviewer: “What do you remember about that season?” That was a very good team. The last two years they had, they might have even started the year before, they started bringing in some better ball players because two teams had dropped out of the league, so there were some good ball players around and you could pick-up good ball players and split them between the six teams that were left. We had Dotty Schroeder, which was one of them, and I’m trying to think, Fern Schollenberger played third base, I mean, these were girls that were excellent ball players. 32:10 Dotty 11 �Naum, she could pitch, she could play short stop, she was a catcher and she was just an all around good ball player. Dotty Schroeder was another excellent short stop and when I pitched against her in Fort Wayne I just admired the way she played and I was very happy to have her on the Lassies, so that helped a lot. Interviewer: “One of the things that characterized the league a little bit was that you had some people that were really good base stealers. They could get on base, now, what could you do to limit the damage? Did you have a pick-off move?” Well, there again, I was fortunate—before I came out to my first tryouts in South Bend there, three of my ball players from Staten Island were working out, two pitchers and a catcher, and like I said, my brother showed me how to throw the pitches and then I was just throwing the ball I wasn’t pitching. 33:14 The pitcher I’m going to talk about showed me how to hold runners on base and how to—there were two ways a base stealer could get a sign from you that he could go, and one was when you put your knee up off the mound or broke your hands from the glove and he said you have to learn to do both of them together because one or the other and their going to get a jump on you, so I learned that and I was very successful at holding runners on. To say no one ever stole, because they did, because we had some very good runners, but I learned that and he taught me how to follow through on a pitch, which is probably why I never had a sore arm. His name was George Bamberger who was the pitching coach for the Baltimore Orioles, was successful and also became a major league manager. 34:06 Interviewer: “He managed the Brewers.” The Brewers and the Mets. 12 �Interviewer: “You mentioned earlier something how you had gotten some pretty good coaching before you went off to spring training. Was that what you were talking about back there?” Yes-- I couldn’t have gotten better coaching, for pitching anyway. Interviewer: “So, did you have success at either picking runners off or holding them on?” Yeah, I had success at picking them off at first and I have to give my catcher the credit because they had rifle arms and by me getting the ball to the plate quickly and them having such good arms, we did throw a lot of good runners out. Interviewer: “So, did they learn maybe not to try to steal against you quite as much?” Possibly Interviewer: “Did you have much occasion to hit the ball?” Well, we batted, and we didn’t have designated hitters, so we got up and I didn’t have a great batting average. At one point in one season I was over three hundred and wow, it was even printed in the paper, but it didn’t last too long. 35:16 I could hit a ball, but I wasn’t a hitter. I could hit a lot of ground ball outs and I had my share of strikeouts, but I wasn’t a total flop. Interviewer: “Do you think that it helped you that you really learned to play just in baseball rather than softball?” Well, I learned softball first just playing in the streets and playing without gloves my hands took a little beating once in a while, but I think it helped because you had to teach yourself and learn as you went along. 13 �Interviewer: “But when you were playing with the boys, or whatever, was that always softball or was there a point when they were playing regular baseball?” Oh no, we played baseball and we would challenge other parts of the—of course there were a lot of younger people my age on the island at the same time in the area where I lived. It was very well populated and you could just go maybe two or three block and challenge another team and that’s when I had to pitch for the boys because I had the curve. 36:19 Interviewer: “when you played some of these other neighborhood teams, did any of them have girls playing for them?” No, when I see them now, or when I see them or when I seen “The League” when it first came out, actually when the movie first came out I would meet them maybe in the street or somewhere and they would tell me—especially one guy, he said he was so embarrassed when I struck him out because he didn’t strikeout that much, but now he says to his children and grandchildren, “she struck me out”. 36:55 Interviewer: “Now you played to the end—would you have kept playing if the league had continued?” Oh yes, I was just getting started at five years. I felt like I was just getting started and I would have played a good maybe five, six, seven years. I figured I would have at least that much. Interviewer: “How much were they paying you then?” Well, they started us out at fifty-five dollars a week and supposedly they had a maximum of a hundred dollars a week and after my third season, that’s what I was making. 14 �Interviewer: “Now, was that pretty good money at that point? Better than you might make if you were staying home with a job?” I was making twenty-five dollars working forty hours a week in an office in Manhattan, so fifty-five dollars was much better than that. Interviewer: “Now, if you hadn’t had the chance to go play ball what do you think you would have done in those years?” I did work in the off-season. I worked back in the city, but that became a hassle too because I had to take a bus from the island, a ferryboat, then the subway and the same thing coming back home and that could be like three hours traveling a day, so I probably would have looked for something right on Staten Island. 38:09 I did work in a supermarket when I went back to Kalamazoo and I could have done different kinds of job. I’ve worked in an office, I’ve worked in stores, and I would have found something. Interviewer: “In the last couple of seasons there, did you have any indication that the league was having trouble and that this might not go on forever?” Actually no, I thought just that they might build it up again and get another team and possibly build it up again. What was written in the paper about the league breaking was that they were just going to take a year off and try to find new cities and if they could find new cities it would be a novelty again in that city, and possibly draw enough people to support it, but it just never came about, so that was just the end of it. There was no discussion of any sort after that because they couldn’t find the cities. 39:08 Interviewer: “So, what did you do then once the league folded?” I went back home and I worked in a store on the island and my brother was stationed in Battle Creek and when he came home for the Christmas holidays that year with his wife, 15 �he told me that my good friend Dotty Naum got married and had a little baby. He said she would like for me to come and stay with her for a while, so I did, I went back to Battle Creek, I stayed with her because her husband was on the road a lot, and we use to go into Kalamazoo once in a while to visit the ball players because a lot of the players stayed in Kalamazoo and went to work there. Somebody said, “Why don’t you stay here and play softball? We have so many girls from the league on the teams”, and I said, “yeah, but I don’t have a job or anything”, and one girl said, “don’t worry, the sponsor will give you a job”, and that’s when I went to work in his store. 40:17 I was there for like a year and a half and I’d be getting calls from home like, “When are you coming home?” Finally I said, “I better go”. I was just going to go visit for a little while and eighteen months was a little more than that, so I went back home and I went back to work in the city, and like I said before, it just was too much of a hassle. Interviewer: “Then did you have a long term career or did you get married and have a family? What did you do?” I got married in 1959, so I didn’t have that long of a career. I did work a few years, until I became pregnant and then I gave up the job and stayed home to be a stay at home mom. Interviewer: “Where do you live now?” I live on Staten Island. Interviewer: “So, there are still some people there that you grew up with and you played ball against and all that kind of thing?” 41:08 Oh yes 16 �Interviewer: “Because you kind of stayed in the same place and some of the people were people you played ball with, did the people you knew, or worked with, did they know that you played professional baseball?” The people that I knew did and my sisters and brothers, if they had a friend and introduce me, they would tell them that I played professional baseball, and they would say, “oh, you played softball”, and my brother would say, “no, she played baseball”. They never heard of a women’s baseball league, just like I didn’t until they came to Staten Island, but it was hard for them to believe. Interviewer: “While you were playing, did you see yourself, or the league, in kind of way as kind of pioneering or doing something?” No, I didn’t, not at that point. I was having fun and I was loving it, and I never saw anything like that and I never expected what happened to be so big. 42:05 Interviewer: “As you kind of get into the seventies and the eighties and so forth, you get Title IX coming in and you get more emphasis now on getting girls sports and this kind of thing, did you pay attention to the news of that while it went on?” Yeah, because I became a coach for the girls at the Staten Island Little League, and I started with the ten to twelve age limit and then they had the senior girls and they would graduate and play from thirteen to fifteen and I would go on to that. I was coaching girls softball down at the little league for about twenty years. Interviewer: “And if you look at it now do you think the league itself, did it play a role, or set an example, or do we just realize now just how unusual it was?” 17 �We just realized since it’s taken off, like with the movie and everything, how important it was. We, like I said, all of us were playing there because we loved the game and we loved to play it. It was an opportunity, you know, that not too many people had. 43:15 Interviewer: “Did you get involved at all when they were making the movie and any of the event surrounding that? Did you get to do any of those things?” I did go out to Chicago when they had the actresses out there and we would—there would be about sixty of us out there and someone would be taking in field practice and some would be in the outfield and some would take batting practice and we did just a lot of different things. Then I was asked to go to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown when they were there, and my husband just had a hip replaced and he couldn’t travel and I said, “I just can’t leave him home alone”, so my neighbors were telling me to go ahead and they would take care of him, but it’s not the same. 44:02 Interviewer: “Have you gone out to Cooperstown since then?” Oh, I go back there every year. Interviewer: “What did you think of the movie its self?” Well, when they first told us who was going to be in the movie, especially Madonna, I said, “What kind of a movie are you making here?” They said they wanted to make it a comedy and they wanted to make it interesting because to make a movie about baseball wasn’t going to be that interesting because there is just so much you can do. They wanted to make it a comedy and they did a very good job doing that. Interviewer: “Did you think that any of the actresses you were working with got pretty good at what they were doing?” 18 �Yeah, some of them were pretty good when I met them in Chicago and they worked hard at it, as a matter of fact, they told us they were picked for their athletic ability before they were picked for acting, 44:52 Interviewer: “Rosie O’Donnell, Madonna? I don’t know.” Well, not Madonna, but Rosie O’Donnell was a good athlete, and a couple of the others, but Madonna was—she came and she wasn’t supposed to be in the movie, she was supposed to do the background music, and she got caught up in all of it and she loved it. Being a good friend of Penny Marshall, she said she wanted to be in the movie, so I watched her try to catch and throw while we were out there and everybody’s calling attention to her, “look at her, she’s trying to throw and she throws like”. She doesn’t know how, but we found out she was a very good athlete in itself. She took very good care of herself, but she just didn’t play ball, but she got someone to teach her and she got a very good job out of it. 45:47 Interviewer: “When you think back over your professional playing career, are there particular moments or events that kind of stand out in your memory, that come back to you a lot?” I just think of the people that we stayed with and the people in Kalamazoo like the family I stayed with. The woman was a retired schoolteacher and the husband was still working at one of the plants in Kalamazoo. They had two grown sons who were out of the house, so that’s how they had the rooms, and we just got so close to them that, you know, we visited them when they moved to Florida. They wanted to meet my mother, so I took my mother to Florida to meet them. People in Kalamazoo were always having something for the team, either some sort of a cook out or barbeque or stuff like that. They were always 19 �doing things for you. You couldn’t help but like the whole city and I’m sure that went on in the other cities, also. 46:55 Interviewer: “If you look back on it now, how do you think your time in the baseball league wound up affecting you? Did you learn things or grow? Did you change at all because you had that experience?” I’ll tell you, I got over my shyness. I was very shy and of course with ten siblings, you could talk to them all, but it was—like in school it was difficult for me to get up and read a book report or something like that and it helped in that respect. Interviewer: “And do you think you learned things about people and dealing with people different from yourself and that sort of thing?” Oh sure, you learned that there are so many different types of people in different—I use to make fun of the way the girls from the south talked and they use to make fun of me. I said, “I don’t have an accent, you do”, but it was nice to meet people from all different parts of the country. That was an education in its self. Interviewer: “Anything else you would like to put on the record here before we close out the interview?” 48:03 I can’t really think, I think we covered just about everything. Interviewer: “You have a good story and you tell it well, so thank you very much for coming in and sharing it today.” You are very welcome, thank you. 20 �21 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

History Department Description An account of the resource The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was started by Philip Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, during World War II to fill the void left by the departure of most of the best male baseball players for military service. Players were recruited from across the country, and the league was successful enough to be able to continue on after the war. The league had teams based in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, and operated between 1943 and 1954. The 1954 season ended with only the Fort Wayne, South Bend, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Rockford teams remaining. The League gave over 600 women athletes the opportunity to play professional baseball. Many of the players went on to successful careers, and the league itself provided an important precedent for later efforts to promote women's sports.
