[NEohioPAL] Batter Up!

[Bette Lou Higgins via NEohioPAL]

Alta Weiss from Ragersville, Ohio put herself through college and medical
school playing professional baseball on a men's team in the early 1900s.
This remarkable pitcher was a natural athlete. Her father said that she
"never threw objects with the tipping or pushing motion characteristic of a
girl." It was even claimed that she threw corncobs at the family cat with
all the "follow through and wrist snap of a big league pitcher."

 

Come hear her story in July when we present, YOU CAN'T PLAY BALL IN A SKIRT!
