Local Man's Grandmother Was a Rockford Peach

Posted

Local elementary schoolteacher Kevin Stevens shared memories of his grandmother Lorraine “Fish” Fisher who played for the Rockford Peaches in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940’s. The movie and the new Netflix series A League of Their Own are both based on the Rockford Peaches. Fisher went on to play for the Grand Rapid Chicks pitching over .500 each season.
