Toni Stone was a remarkable figure who defied racial and gender barriers in the world of professional baseball. Despite being rejected by the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League due to her race, Toni became the first woman to play professional baseball on a men's team in the Negro Leagues. This trailblazer shattered expectations and created her own set of rules, leaving a lasting impact on the sport.
