“Some people use to say, ‘How did you do it? Those long bus rides and all?’ You know, when you’re sixteen years old and you’re doing something you like to do, that was the least of my concerns, the bus ride. It was fun, it was a lot of camaraderie with the girls, we had good times, we had a lot of laughs. . . . I never minded the bus rides.”

Shirley “Hustle” Burkovich, infield, outfield, 1949–51

“There was no complaining, moaning, groaning, and no gossiping. . . . Think of all those women together . . . no air conditioning, you’re on the bus, sweltering, clothes hanging in your face drying out, and trying to sleep on the bus, taking turns using one another’s laps as head rests, feet up in the air and then switching off—and not being crabby, that’s amazing.”

Toni Palermo
