Cardinal executive wins 'distinguished women' award

Judy Carpenter Barada, the Cardinals' director of major league administration, has been named as the 2015 recipient of the Sally O’Leary Distinguished Woman in Baseball Award.

The award is given by the Pittsburgh Rotary Club, which will honor Barada at a dinner on Nov. 14. O'Leary was one of the first female executives in baseball, starting in the Pirates' public relations department in 1964 and working there for more than 30 years.
