Female story fail

I love the concept. But it failed on one aspect, your female player is not the first woman to play in the Double A - historically speaking. April 2nd, 1931 Jackie Mitchell debuted in an exhibition game between the Chattanooga Lookouts and the New York Yankees. She made history by striking out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig before walking Tony Lazzeri.

It's not a fail. It was an exhibition game and players don't actually register until they play an actual regular season game which is why they are correct.

Your ability to Google then copy/paste Wikipedia is impressive but why did you gloss over the fact that on July 5, 1898, Lizzie Arlington became the first woman to play for a professional men's baseball team when she pitched the ninth inning for the Reading Coal Heavers against the Allentown Peanuts?

She was the first woman to play "organized" baseball in 1898. The Double A wasn't established until 1912. My point was that Jackie Mitchell was the first to play Double A ball, not first to play organized baseball period. Also, I didn't copy and paste. I just have that good of a memory.
