Our Power of One series continues this week with Carolyn King, producer of the documentary "The Girl In Centerfield". King is currently traveling the country, promoting the film.
In 1973, when Carolyn King broke the Little League sex barrier, Brian Kruger played baseball on the other side of town for the Ypsilanti American Little League. Now, he is the president and CEO of Stunt3 Multimedia, a film production company based in Detroit that he formed with Buddy Moorehouse.
When Outfielder Carolyn King, 12, tried out for the Orioles, an Ypsilanti, Mich., Little League baseball team, she beat out 15 boys and qualified for a starting position. Not long afterward, Little League headquarters in Williamsport, Pa., cited its rule barring girls from league teams and threatened to withdraw the Orioles' charter.
