I’m not sure why the AUSL is waiting so long to announce this, especially since the game is just 9 days away, but we hope to see you at the Parkway Bank Sports Complex (27 Jennie Finch Way, Rosemont, IL) on July 18 at 1:00 PM CT for the Chicago Bandits vs. Utah Talons game, where we’ll celebrate Betty Chapman Day.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Betty Chapman breaking the color barrier in the National Girls Baseball League, becoming the first African American woman to play in a professional softball league.
I recently found Betty’s family, and they’ll be in attendance. We’ll be there as well, sporting the awesome baseball tee above!
If you can’t make it to the ballpark, the game will also be broadcast on ESPN, so you can watch from home.
