Nor was it the length of her time here on Earth--over a century--although any of these things by itself would be impressive. The magic of Dot's story is in the details. It's the tale of a childhood spent in poverty, an indomitable, unbreakable spirit, a determination to be the very best to play whatever sport she undertook, the independence to live her personal life on her own terms, and her tremendous success at all of it. Over more than a decade of countless conversations and interviews, Dot shared all of it with her dear friend, author Lynn Ames. Dot held nothing back. Out at the Plate, told through the lens of Dot and Lynn's friendship, is the story of a forgotten era in women's history and sports, and one extraordinary woman's place at the center of it all." -- Dust jacket. 600 10 $a Wilkinson, Dot. 650 0 $a Women softball players $v Biography. 650 0 $a Softball for women. 655 7 $a Biographies. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240208010045.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA35B22AC64F11EEAFB2E76A28ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
