And you will never understand that or be a part of that because you are a woman." So said a baseball player in 1986 to sportswriter Susan Fornoff, shortly after she had received a gift-wrapped rat from Oakland A's slugger Dave Kingman. But it wasn't always so difficult being a woman in the locker room - the players often talked to Fornoff in a way they didn't to other writers, simply because she was a woman. This special connection gave her a unique understanding of the team and baseball in general. In her memoirs, Fornoff exposes sexism in the locker room, shares her insights on such superstars as Jose Canseco, Dave Stewart, and Dennis Eckersley, and tells how she became accepted as one of the guys without ever becoming one.
