Debbie Baca Duran Quote
“We all played ball… It was awesome. Those baseball games were crazy. Sometimes they’d start at four in the afternoon and go some time until it’d get dark at 8:00… your older sisters played ball… you passed on your gloves to your siblings… We were called Flores Grocer. Like I said, it was a community and everybody just kind of helped out”
