Girls’ baseball team at Manzanar. July 17, 1942

Japanese-American prisoners made Manzanar more livable through recreation. They participated in sports, including baseball, football, and martial arts. Maye Noma, behind the plate, and Tomi Nagao, at bat, are pictured during a practice game between members of the Chick-a-dee softball team. The entire team was transplanted from Los Angeles to the War Relocation Authority Center at Manzanar.

Bet they would have whipped the Rockford Peaches.  Maybe not Tomi-chan.
