“BITCH AND MOAN ALL YOU WANT GENTLEMAN, BUT TONIGHT A GIRL IS GOING TO BE THE LEAD SPORTS STORY IN THE WORLD”
The pressure is on for Ginny Baker, the first woman to take the mound as a Major League Pitcher. This momentous occasion in sports history has brought the San Diego Padres into the limelight and caused pandemonium to break loose in the sports world. To say the least, Baker has some big cleats to fill.
The media frenzy will only increase throughout the season. Fan’s fascination with a woman pitching in the MLB has caused ticket sales to increase exponentially. Petco Park quickly sold out when the female starter was announced.
People are comparing this to Jackie Robinson’s history-making debut in the Major League. This is a day many thought would never come. After all, biology makes it “impossible” for a woman to compete at the same level as a man… right?
Ginny Baker is ready to defeat all stereotypes.
Did the Padres make the right decision drafting the first woman to the Majors? Can Baker earn the respect of the sports world and live up to the hype?
Find out by watching Pitch this fall on FOX 28.
Pitch is the first TV series to officially associate with the MLB, making it the first show if it’s kind. This is an epic moment in television history that you won’t want to miss! You can watch the season unfold Thursday nights at 9:00 PM starting September 22nd.
