Jackie Mitchell: parlo di me

Chi sono:

The graphic novel "Her curves were too much for them" is the true story of Jackie Mitchell, the teenage girl pitcher who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1931. Cartoonist Andy Broome combines his love of baseball, history and the art of cartooning in this enduring tale of how an 18-year old girl had the courage to face Murderers Row.
Jackie signed with the Chattanooga Lookouts baseball club in 1931. On April 2nd, 1931, Jackie took the mound and struck out Yankees greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Dive into the history of baseball in Chattanooga, one of the most historic baseball towns in America. Meet the colorful people involved with Jackie such as Joe Engel, the "Barnum of the Bushes", Kid Elberfeld and Dazzy Vance. See what it was like to be there that day in April.
If you are a fan of baseball, young or old, this story is for you.
"Her curves were too much for them" is slated for release Fall 2007. For the latest news, visit

Rube Waddell	16.apr.2007 01:36 As a teenager she played with the local boys' teams, in St. Paul, Minnesota. During World War II she moved to San Francisco, playing first with an American Legion team, and then with the San Francisco Sea Lions, a black, semi-pro barnstorming team--she drove in two runs in her first at-bat. She didn't feel that the owner was paying her what they'd originally agreed on, so when the team played in New Orleans, she jumped ship and joined the Black Pelicans. From there she went to the New Orleans Creoles, part of the Negro League minors, where she made $300 a month in 1949. The local press reported that she made several unassisted double plays, and batted .265. (Although the All American Girls Baseball League was active at the time, Toni Stone was not eligible to play. The AAGBL was a "whites only" league, so Toni played on otherwise all-male black teams.) In 1953, Syd Pollack, owner of the Indianapolis Clowns, signed Toni to play second base, a position that had been recently vacated when Hank Aaron was signed by the Boston (soon to be Milwaukee) Braves. Toni became the first woman to play in the Negro Leagues. The Clowns had begun as a gimmick team, much like the Harlem Globetrotters, known as much for their showmanship as their playing. But by the '50s they had toned down their antics and were playing straight baseball. Although Pollack claimed he signed Toni Stone for her skill as a player, not as a publicity stunt, having her on the team didn't hurt revenues, which had been declining steadily since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the majors, and many young black players left the Negro Leagues.
