Mo'ne Davis Throws Like a Girl

NY Times Mo'ne Article

The New York times article on Mo'ne Davis tells the historic performance she has put on in the little league world series.  Never has there been a girl pitcher to win a game at the Little League World Series before Mo'ne stepped on the mound.  Not only has she won two straight games, but she has dominated with two complete game shutouts allowing only a few hits in both games.  For basketball there is the WNBA sister to the NBA.  For other Tennis there is the ATP, and WTA.  For baseball the female equivalent is softball.  Mo'ne is dominating in a sport that is not even an option for girls to play.  There have been record crowds watching her pitch, and as the article's headline states "A Mound Becomes a Summit."  There have been girls that have played in the LLWS before, but for the first time a girl has towered above the competition.  Could we one day see a woman in the MLB?
