\"Out<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Out At the Plate: The Dot Wilkinson Story by Lynn Ames<\/b><\/span> is a biography that not only to the amazing athlete who won three world softball champions, but also a woman who enjoyed the nuances life had to offer and lived it to the fullest every day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To know Dot Wilkinson was a treasure. She was the kind of person you loved to talk to and hated to go up against on the field of play. Dot\u2019s prowess as a natural athlete allowed her to excel at every sport she touched. But that wasn\u2019t all Dot was. She was a woman born into poverty yet made the most of every opportunity given to her. Her unbreakable spirit opened doors at a time when women were expected to have children, stay at home, or do menial jobs. Her determination to be more than what was expected of her allowed her to live her life independently, full of laughter, heartache, sports, and love who she wanted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This isn\u2019t simply just a story of one of the most decorated woman softball player. This is a story of a forgotten era in women\u2019s history and one amazing woman\u2019s place at the heart of it all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pros And My Favourite Parts<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What I really like is how Ames takes great care in making sure that we hear this story in Dot\u2019s own words.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

She starts off with how she met Dot. On a hot day in Phoenix, she pulls up to Dot\u2019s house for an interview. And while the greatest softball player of all time was a little reluctant, she eventually warmed up to Lynn Ames \u2013 anyone who\u2019s met her can understand how easy it is \u2013 by giving her the biggest seal of endorsement: reading her book. From there a great and beautiful friendship was born, and Ames goes through those first few months of their meeting with humor, heartache, and unbelievability that the<\/i> Dot Wilkinson wanted to spend time with her.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we get into the nitty gritty of Dot\u2019s life \u2013 her childhood, how she was introduced to softball, who she dated \u2013 it\u2019s not Ames telling the story. It\u2019s Dot. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how much of Dot\u2019s own words were used. I felt like I was sitting with Dot on her back porch, listening to her retell of events that were important to shaping who she was as a person. Whether it was about her early days on the Ramblers, the agony of losing the national championship, meeting her first girlfriend, I could feel every emotion Dot felt in those moments. I even laughed a little bit at her telling of how she got into a little tizzy with her girlfriend because another woman took a shine to her. This is what I expect not only from Ames, who is an amazing author, but from a woman who loved her friend and wrote her story exactly the way Dot told it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cons And Heads Up<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Be prepared to read about a lot of softball. This isn\u2019t really a con. After all, it\u2019s Dot Wilkinson, Softball Hall of Fame player. But, if you\u2019re not familiar with the sport, this book is a great starting point if you ever wanted to learn more about it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I wish I had the chance to meet Dot personally. I know she\u2019s in a better place (Dot passed away in March, 2023), playing with her late partner, Ricki, and all her friends on heaven\u2019s All-Star softball team, but she left her story in the best hands. Ames did an exceptional job of giving us her words, her stories, and her emotions so we all could enjoy who Dot was. This is a love letter to Dot from Ames, but it\u2019s also a love letter to softball. Dot Wilkinson was a formidable force. Because of that, she will always be remembered as a great human being who gave it her all in every moment of her life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Excerpt from <\/b><\/span>Out At the Plate: The Dot Wilkinson Story by Lynn Ames<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cHow\u2019s Ricki?\u201d I finally ventured.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dot shook her head. \u201cIt\u2019s no good. She\u2019s in a lot of pain.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI\u2019m so sorry, Dot.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been together forty-seven years. It\u2019ll be forty-eight years in October. I hoped we\u2019d make it to fifty.\u201d Her voice trailed off. She glanced up at me. \u201cI told her about your book. She couldn\u2019t believe I\u2019d read it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cRicki\u2019s the reader. I haven\u2019t picked up a book in all the time we\u2019ve been together.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cSeriously?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dot shrugged. \u201cI never had time to read. I was always out playing ball or working. By the time we\u2019d get home, I was too tired to do anything but put my feet up.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I digested this information. \u201cWhy\u2019d you read my book?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI read the back. It sounded interesting. I\u2019ve never read anything like it. You wrote about people like me. My friends.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cYou mean you\u2019d never read anything with lesbian characters?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cYeah. I didn\u2019t know anyone wrote about things like that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I was intrigued by this piece of information and by the fact that Dot was willing to talk to me openly about her sexuality and her relationship with Ricki. In my experience writing historical fiction, I\u2019d had a very hard time getting people of Dot\u2019s generation to admit to same-sex relationships and discuss what their lives had been like in the 1930s, \u201840s, and \u201850s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cYou said you and Ricki have been together forty-seven years\u2026\u201d I hoped by leaving the comment open-ended, Dot would pick up the thread.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cShe came over here after the 1962 season. She left her own team, the Orange [California] Lionettes, and her life on the west coast, to come here for me. Can you imagine that?\u201d Dot looked at me, obviously perplexed. \u201cWhy would she do that?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cLove?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cShe had a good job as a technical illustrator at Hughes Aircraft. She had a stake in the Lionettes. She had an apartment. She walked away from all of that.\u201d Dot speared a sweet potato fry, dipped it in ketchup, and popped it in her mouth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cShe fell in love with you, and she obviously knew you\u2019d never leave Phoenix.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Dot shook her head, \u201cI never would\u2019ve done what she did. I was a Rambler for life.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
