Born March 20, 1888 Amanda E. Clement of South Dakota was the first woman paid to umpire a semi-professional baseball game in the US. She officiated for six years in the early 1900s, earning $15 - $20 per game to help pay for college. She was also an avid athlete, competing in basketball, tennis, and track.

Quote of the Day
If a governor comes out of his government rich, they say he has been a thief; and if he comes out poor, that he has been a noodle and a blockhead.
