\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Effa<\/a> always loved baseball. As a young woman, she would go to Yankee Stadium<\/a> just to see Babe Ruth\u2019s<\/a> mighty swing. But she never dreamed she would someday own a baseball team. Or be the first\u2014and only\u2014woman ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From her childhood in Philadelphia<\/a> to her groundbreaking role as business manager and owner of the Newark Eagles<\/a>, Effa Manley<\/a> always fought for what was right. And she always swung for the fences.<\/p>\n

From author Audrey Vernick and illustrator Don Tate comes the remarkable story of an all-star of a woman.<\/p>\n
