The kid from Diamond Street

the extraordinary story of baseball legend Edith Houghton

The kid from Diamond Street

the extraordinary story of baseball legend Edith Houghton
written by Audrey Vernick ; illustrated by Steven Salerno
Book - 2016

Beginning in 1922, when Edith Houghton was only ten years old, she tried out for a women's professional baseball team, the Philadelphia Bobbies. Though she was the smallest on the field, soon reporters were talking about "The Kid" and her incredible skill, and crowds were packing the stands to see her play. Her story reminds us that baseball has never been about just men and boys. Baseball is also about talented girls willing to work hard to play any way they can.
