 1951 vs 1954 - Baseball Fever
The 1954 Giants swept the team that holds the AL record for most wins in a single season (ok. 116 is more than 111 but.720 is better than.716), the Cleveland Indians with one of the greatest pitching staffs of all time.
To me, 1954 was the better season by far because winning the WS is the ultimate achievement of any season.
The 1954 Giants are a vastly underrated team as well as almost an afterthought when discussing great teams.

It was one of the last stadiums with such supporting columns, which put fans sitting the upper decks closer to the diamond than is the case with virtually all newer stadiums.

This activity is designed to give students insight into the development of women's baseball during the 20th century, as well as giving students an appreciation for the role and ability of female athletes throughout the history of sport.
The number of students participating in the "talk show" will depend on how many students are in the class, how many students the teacher wishes to have participate in the actual show versus being in the audience, and other factors.
In addition, while the focus of the talk show will be on the female athletes, part of the research process should be to find examples of men who have been supporters of women's athletics throughout the years.
