Who else absolutely 💖s the Women's Pro Baseball League ( Women’s Pro Baseball League )?

We saw many of the league's enthusiastic, supportive fans at the Old Capitol Farmers Market 🌱 this morning, and we were also so incredibly lucky to have the one and only Raine Padgham from WPBL Boston Hunters stop by our booth and chat with us for a bit.

She patiently listened to me talk about how bad I was at baseball as a child and let us know that we can come see her in action on Wednesday, Sept 2 @ 6:30 pm at Springfield's own Robin Roberts Stadium!

Let's show up to support her and the league!
