Strike one, strike two, strike three – this week is out of here with this #flashbackfriday!

............

Ryan Woodward sure had an eagle eye early this morning on our Flashback Friday post.

He spotted a detail in this photo and let us know this photo may not be Dorothy 'Kammie' Kamenshek as the photo story mentioned earlier. He based his conclusion on the positioning of the glove on her right hand and not the left as well as the team logo on the uniform. Kammie was left handed.

Getting busy this morning, we did some more research too and agree that it is very likely not Kammie but Alma Ziegler.

Here is a link to learn more about Kammie, a Rockford Peaches player, as well as a photo we know is her:

Researching and documenting stories of the past is always ongoing and we thank Ryan for contacting us to make the important distinction and correction.
