re: Kim Mulkey as LSU HC?

Logan, you may remember this then: When Kim Mulkey was a child of about 10, I was a sportswriter for a weekly newspaper in Hammond and she was the first girl in Louisiana to play Little League baseball. That was a day and time when the common belief was that girls should not play on sports teams with boys and the folks in Hammond were furious.
I wrote a column that said she was the best LL player I had ever seen. That ticked the folks off even more. At the end of the season she was named to the LL All-Star team. On the day of the game, two lawyers stood on the pitcher’s mound arguing over whether she should be allowed to play. One had a court order barring her from the game. She wasn’t even allowed to sit in the dugout with her team. She sat in the stands with her dad and I and cried most of the time.
Afterwards, the boys on her team -- who really wanted her to play -- passed by her in the stands and tipped their caps to her out of respect.
