girls in baseball
"On April 8, Whitmore signed a contract with the Staten Island FerryHawks of the Atlantic League, becoming the first woman to join a league affiliated with Major League Baseball; the independent Atlantic League was named MLB’s first Partner League in September 2020. While it wasn’t the 23-year-old’s first foray into professional baseball -- the San Diego native played for the Sonoma Stompers of the independent Pacific Association in 2016 and ’17 -- given the Atlantic League’s reputation as the highest level of the sport outside the Majors or Minors, it was certainly her most high-profile venture yet."
