This book is by Marissa Moss. It was 1931, April 2, and something amazing was about to happen. Chattanooga, Tennessee, two teams were going to play an exhibition game in baseball. It was Yankees vs. Chattanooga Lookouts. Jackie was 17 years old. She was a girl and usually girls don't play baseball. When Jackie was a little kid she played baseball with her father. Jackie practiced pitching until it was too dark and too cold. Jackie was going to pitch the ball to Babe Ruth, the run king. She pitched the ball - strike one. She pitched it again - strike two. She pitched it again - strike three, you're out! She is going to pitch it to Lou Gehrig. Strike one, strike two, strike three, you're out! Everybody cheered!
