Gay softballers donate their namesake to kids in need
After just two years in the Heart of America Softball League, The Barbies went all the way to the Gay World Series this past summer. After raising $10,000 from fans and sponsors, the Barbies traveled to Seattle and went 5-2 at the national competition. It wasn’t enough to make it to the winners’ podium, but these players did bring home a trophy. Their Barbie inspired outfits — in pastel blues and pink — earned them the Best Uniforms award. Thanks to the generosity of their supporters they got their wish this summer. Now, they’re turning the tables. This Christmas, they’re hoping to doll-up the holidays for a thousand area children.
