SUE SAYS

Dana began her life in Canada with a love of writing and journalism. Life however had a different plan for her as she would later learn when her six year old daughter wanted to play baseball, but not be the only girl out of 400 players. As a producer Dana was used to solving problems, so she decided to create a place for her daughter to play and it turned into a national baseball league for girls. Now it’s a sport anyone can play!
