Despite being the first woman to play professional baseball as a regular on a men’s league team in the United States, Toni Stone’s place in history was ignored for decades. Lydia R. Diamond’s play at Aurora Fox Arts Center explores Stone’s love of the game as a young girl through her barrier-smashing breakthrough on the Negro League All-Star team, the New Orleans Creoles and the Indianapolis Clowns.
