About me:
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
