Woman’s Dream of Becoming Yankees Bat Girl Comes True After 60 Years

In 1961, ten-year-old Gwen wrote a letter to the then-team manager about her dreams of being a bat girl. But the manager told her she'd be out of place in a dugout....because she was a girl.

Yankees manager Brian Cashman recently made one woman’s dream come true. In 1961, ten-year-old Gwen wrote a letter to the then-team manager about her dreams of being a bat girl. But the manager told her she’d be out of place in a dugout….because she was a girl. 60 years later, Gwen’s daughter reached out to the Yankees again and at the age of 70, Gwen finally became an honorary bat girl!
