bluecatsredsox: tinkersghost: Dottie Schroeder before a 1948 AAGPBL spring training game in Opa-Locka, Florida. I really wish I knew the photographer for this. It’s a great shot and I agree— I wish the Florida State Library had the photog info.  But this is actually one of the internet-rare instances where it’s not a big deal except in terms of annoying those who wish they knew more about how the photo came to be, because (unlike the vast majority of photos you see on the internet) there are actually no copyright restrictions on this image. This is one of the awesome things about public photography collections, and The Commons (you can find this photo there as well as at the State Library and Archives of Florida). girl.baseball.power
