It’s the second inning and you’ve just been called from the bullpen as a reliever. The starting pitcher just gave up a double and a single to start the game, and your manager needs you to get out of the inning. As you take the mound you look at the upcoming batters for your opponent, the New York Yankees. Next up? The legendary Babe Ruth. If you somehow get around him, the great Lou Gehrig is on deck. An impossible situation for any reliever.
What to do? Pitch like a girl.
The story of Jackie Mitchell, on today’s episode of Rounders: A History of America’s game.
