![Mighty Jackie: The Strike-Out Queen](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0689863292.jpg?itok=v6t6ec31)
Jackie loved to pitch baseball. Her long practices paid off when at 17-years old she pitched for the Chattanooga Lookouts in a demonstration game against the New York Yankees. Jackie struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig — and forever changed baseball’s rules. The excitement of Jackie Mitchell’s story is well-paced, illustrated with slightly exaggerated and altogether winning illustrations.
