My pen name is Dottie Kamenshek. She was a famous All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player. In the movie A League of their Own the character Dottie Hinson was inspired by Dorothy "Dottie" Kamenshek. She was named one of the top 100 female athletes of the century by Sports Illustrated and was selected to 7 All-Star teams before the end of her career in 1953.
I have always wanted to be like Dottie. Be super talented, smart, and be recognized by doing something great in sports history. Also i enjoy the 1920's through the 50's history and wished i lived by them in those times.
She passed away in Palm Desert, Calif. of natural causes in May of 2010.
