Jackie worked at baseball. She worked hard. And before long Jackie could outplay anyone in her neighborhood—even the boys.\n\nShe had one pitch—a wicked, dropping curve ball. But no seventeen-year-old girl could pitch against Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. It was unthinkable. Then on April 2, 1931, the New York Yankees stopped in Tennessee for an exhibition game against the Chattanooga Lookouts. And on that day Jackie Mitchell made baseball history.\n\nMarissa Moss tells a true story of determination and heroism, a gem of baseball history sure to inspire ballplayers of all ages. And C. F. Payne’s vibrant, glorious illustrations make the golden age of baseball come alive.\n\nOther awards include:\nBill Martin Jr. Picture Book Award Nominee (KS)\nBlack Eyed Susan Book Award Master List (MD)\nCapitol Choices List (DC)\nChickadee Award Nominee (ME)\nChild Magazine's Guide to Top Books, Videos and Software of the Year\nDelaware Diamonds Award Program Master List\nGarden State Children's Book Award Nominee (NJ)\nKansas State Reading Circle List Starred Primary Title\nMonarch Award Master List (IL)\nSouth Carolina Book Award Nominee\nVirginia Young Readers List\nWA Children’s Choice Picture Book Award Master List\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0689863292\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0689863292.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Moss, Marissa|Payne, C.
