I know we women have come a long way since the inception of Title IX, but you are right, there is still so much more to accomplish on equality. <br /><br />Glad you like the picture. No, I did not get any home runs that year, but I did manage a triple. My first ever. I never was a power hitter, but I almost always got on base, which is awesome. My fave position was second base. I was always good at fielding grounders there and keeping the liners out of right field. <br /><br />Panacea is a great word and so true of Title IX. It is most definitely not a cure all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-11566344606445141232012-06-26T18:54:58.743-07:002012-06-26T18:54:58.743-07:00Thanks, Kathy!
