Sheril KirshenbaumSure you’ve heard of Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig, but what about Jackie Mitchell? She’s the 17 yr old pitcher who struck them both out consecutively in 1931.
Babe Ruth was quoted saying women “will never make good” in baseball bc “they are too delicate.”
The next day, the NYTimes reported, “The prospect grows gloomier for misogynists.”
There’s far more to Jackie’s impressive baseball career https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/meet-jackie-mitchell-the-girl-who-struck-out-babe-ruth.html

A 17-year-old girl struck out Ruth and Gehrig
It shouldn't come as much of a shock to hear that baseball in 1931 was totally different from baseball today. Just from looking at pictures from the era, you can tell. Pitchers' windups are different. Hitters' swings are different. The uniforms look thicker and baggier. But another way the game
