Toni Stone was the first woman to play with men in the Negro League baseball teams in the late forties and early fifties. Stone retired in 1954, but played amateur baseball into her sixties. She died this past weekend at the age of 75. Roger Nieboer has written a play about Toni Stones life entitled "Tomboy Stone" and talks to Noah about this baseball trailblazer.
