I can’t remember nor find the name. There was a woman who struck out several of the most fearsome major league baseball hitters in the ’30s in an exhibition games.
Great history lesson, Grandma. Unfortunately that expression usually means throwing with a complete lack of coordination or ability (it dates back to the stereotype, driven by old-fashioned ideas about gender roles, that girls simply don’t play baseball). If that’s what’s happening, take your granddaughter outside for some coaching and practice sessions.

That’s the spirit, girlfriend! That’s like the WNBA. Those women will give a lot of men a run for their money!
