Quotes
“SEE HER BE HER is a film that allows girls and women around the world to dream. It features courageous women doing whatever it takes to play the game they love — BASEBALL! My hope is this film creates more opportunities for girls and women to play the game. We need a league for women to play! Boys get to see big leaguers and they get to dream. I want every girl to have that dream too.”
— Sports Icon and Equality Champion Billie Jean King
“SEE HER BE HER should motivate young girls to continue playing baseball, if that is the game they love. It should motivate college-age women interested in playing baseball to know that women’s baseball is on the move, the USA has the potential to grow, and that there is a future for a league similar to our old AAGPBL. Your film is providing that much needed push!”
— Lois Youngen, AAGPBL player
“To sit there and to watch the entire film, it is powerful, inspiring and eye-opening. And I say eye-opening because the quality of play and competition not just in the U.S. but globally certainly exceeded what I understood before and what I think a lot of people know. And so what Jeff and Jean are doing by providing visibility for not only the potential and possibilities that exist going forward, but more importantly what’s happening right now in women’s baseball, is just tremendous.”
— Former Brewer President, CEO and Chairman, Wendy Selig-Prieb (Associated Press News)
