I had not heard of this story before and thought it was interesting. Apparently, Jackie Mitchell, a minor league pitcher who happened to be a woman, struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig on six pitches in an exhibition game. Or did she?

In any event, I though some of you might find the article interesting.
