Jackie Mitchell’s dad taught her she could strike out anyone, especially if she worked hard every day. Little Jackie practiced pitching morning and night, and her dream came true when the Chattanooga Lookouts signed her.

Finally, on April 2nd, 1931, seventeen-year-old Jackie had her chance against the New York Yankees. Reporters doubted her. Fans doubted her. Even Babe Ruth doubted her. Could a girl strike out the “Sultan of Swat?” or the “Iron Horse?”

Readers will feel Babe Ruth’s dismay and Jackie Mitchell’s determination. This book is about finding your inner strength even when people doubt you.

This book is recommended for kids 8+.
