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!
