Скачать или смотреть The Teen Girl Who Struck Out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig

⚾️✨ Imagine being 17 years old… and striking out Babe Ruth AND Lou Gehrig back-to-back. That’s exactly what Jackie Mitchell did in 1931.

This isn’t just a baseball story — it’s one of the most fascinating, almost unbelievable moments in all of sports history. Jackie Mitchell, a teenage girl with a wicked left-handed curveball, faced two of the most feared hitters in Major League Baseball… and sent them back to the dugout shaking their heads. 😮

📜 The Story:
In an exhibition game between the New York Yankees and the Chattanooga Lookouts, Jackie was brought in to pitch. The crowd expected a publicity stunt. What they got was jaw-dropping:
👉 Babe Ruth — STRUCK OUT.
👉 Lou Gehrig — STRUCK OUT right after him.
👉 Tony Lazzeri — walked.

MLB Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided Jackie’s contract days later, claiming baseball was “too strenuous” for women. Was it sexism? A publicity stunt gone too far? Or pure talent MLB wasn’t ready to accept? 🤔
