So, I love baseball. Have since I was 8 years old. When A League of Their Own came out, I was one happy little girl! Somehow, I never realized that the ladies of the AAGPBL were NOT the first female ball players. I just learned about Alta Weiss (pg. 167 of this book) who, at the age of 17, in 1907, became a pitcher for the semipro Vermilion Independents. You go, girl!
