COMMUNITY REVIEWS
good local history documentary submitted by Jackie77 on August 17, 2015, 12:24am This was a good story. Ann arbor was groundbreaking in allowing the first girl into the national little league. She had alot of support from coaches, community leaders, and even the team mates she played ball with.
The Girl in Center Field submitted by SBNB on July 7, 2021, 8:34pm This documentary was a lot more boring and less interesting than I expected. There's definitely value in it, but it didn't hold my attention.
