Carmen Lujan (top row, second from right) with Cherokees team, 1950s
During World War II, Lujan stepped away from softball while working as a Rosie the Riveter. Once the war was over, Lujan found joy in the game once again as she returned to playing with former teammates on the newly formed San Bernardino Cherokees women’s team.
