Toni Stone was baseball's "female Jackie Robinson." Her ambition, courage, and raw talent propelled her from ragtag teams barnstorming across the Dakotas to playing in front of large crowds at Yankee Stadium. Playing alongside some of the premier athletes of all time including Ernie Banks, Willie Mays, Buck O'Neil, and Satchel Paige, Toni Stone let her talent speak for itself. A program from the Jolyon Pitt Girard Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence Keynote Lecture on October 10, 2012, at Cabrini College is laid in; Martha Ackmann presented the keynote address at this event. Condition: very good, very good.
