A woman? In the Hall of Fame?

Despite what they said in A League of Their Own there are no women in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The All American Girls Professional Baseball League is just the subject of an exhibit, but there are no women with plaques hanging in the Hall of Fame.

But Effa Manley has a chance to be the first. Manley will be in the special election for Negro League players and executives next week. MLB.com has been profiling the candidates all month.

Little known fact: Ms. Manley wanted to be a nun, in Calcutta, but quit in horror over the name they asked her to take.
