In 1911, before women had the right to vote, Helene Hathaway Robinson Britton inherited the St. Louis Cardinals upon the death of her uncle, Stanley Robinson. She became the first woman owner and president of an MLB team, a role dominated by men. She held the position for six years. http://atmlb.com/2sPiI4mVisit the #CardsMuseum at @CardinalsNation to learn more about Helene Britton and the impact of other women in baseball by visiting the temporary exhibit, “Women in Baseball: How They Made History.” http://atmlb.com/2sPiI4m #sportsMW #WomenMW #MuseumWeek
