BASEBALL!

Apologies for what is, again, a post that's related to baseball history rather than the present game. However, I think this one is of interest for a variety of reasons and well worth including here for BFP-ers who are baseball enthusiasts.

It's an article on Jackie Mitchell, a 17 year old female who struck out probably the two greatest baseball legends of all time, Lou Gehrig & Babe Ruth:

Interestingly, to me, she looks fairly androgynous in the photos, including the one in which she is pictured applying make-up.

For what it's worth, here's the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Mitchell

I didn't know there were female players before the "A League Of Their Own" time (1940's). She was offered a position, but refused.

Yeah I am watching the game. I remember when Mo and Andy and Derek and Jorge were all young and first getting started. I lived in New York state then. It seems like a million years ago for me. Good to see Andy and Mo pitch at least one more time today.

I read recently that Shohei is now married to his long time girlfriend who is a massive women’s basketball star from Japan. They are so cute! ☺️

I’m not sure who I plan to root for this year but I came across a nice article on the Cincinnati Reds baseball club. See link below ☺️

We support our local high school team and this year they hope to remain the top contenders for a third state championship title. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The Braves swept the Diamondbacks last week!

50 Years ago today, Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record.

We are rooting for the Baltimore Orioles.

Adley, the catcher on this team, is from a rural area close to the PDX metro area. Adley gives back to local high schools in our area by conducting baseball clinics for rural high school young men in area leagues of competition. He is a very nice person. Adley got his big break into MLB when he played for the Oregon State Beavers in college. Which, btw, the OSU Beavers are tops in their league this season.
