left, is similar to the badges that accredited journalists at the 1977 World Series received. It gave them access to areas where interviews take place, including the clubhouse/locker room. One of her 1977 badges is on permanent display at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. and a 1978 World Series press pass belonging to Melissa is in the museum at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1515685623763-STI0BUPJM4539CZL9UZ1/Fenway+ML+10.jpg bio https://www.melissaludtke.com/stories daily 0.75 2018-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1515694356325-TPQLIP2A4T8N9C9KFNMH/Women%27s+Rights+Slideshow+1.jpg stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516647730964-WI77BC50GV1XSQJFFDNI/Children+image+2.jpg stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1515693717943-RXHOCT9J6Z3SZJAIC0T9/Rotary+dial.jpg stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516571632799-65SJOIZQAC7SD183A22N/SI+painting+2.jpg stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516645885764-OHUJ5CTSYG3F61D6F5FG/AP+Photo+Melissa+at+Typewriter+1978.jpg stories https://www.melissaludtke.com/news daily 0.75 2018-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516144456022-660UOD4X2CZ694PMF5GF/Me+Softball+Photo+SI+Team.jpg news https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516144678867-DDHUYDLBDX1WUJCD9F8C/Melissa+In+the+News%2C+Now.jpeg news https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516144280818-CFNE71QZZIIHZ3FKBF29/1977+World+Series+Press+Pass.jpeg news https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516219057129-JLLWYMSTD89W911L8FWM/News+Images+Website.jpeg news https://www.melissaludtke.com/locker-room-talk daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/a7c5e3ef-620e-4e77-9576-e8c2e50851a8/Locker+Room+Talk+Cover.jpeg Locker Room Talk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516648743828-XC6T7Z4REYLBMBX5LX0E/News+Images+Website.jpeg Locker Room Talk https://www.melissaludtke.com/touching-home-in-china daily 0.75 2023-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/ded18f6b-2b50-4394-ad72-5a6ebd3cd5cc/THIC+Cover+for+story.jpeg Touching Home in China WEBSITE and iBook series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516642498718-FG8AMKAE1JTB2PH2XM3T/Adoptee+returns+to+China.jpg Touching Home in China https://www.melissaludtke.com/on-our-own daily 0.75 2018-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5782bf8c56a8ca76a395df/1516642076115-EGVDJTGMX2N23SQGWUZF/On+Our+Own+Book+Cover.jpg On Our Own Random house, 1997.
