High-school baseball phenom Jill Cafferty makes history as the first female Major League player when she signs with the Pittsburgh Pirates. But it's not going to be easy, as she faces a lot of abuse: fans tossing tampons onto the field, a teammate urinating in her locker, etc. Baseball fans will enjoy following Jill toward a surer sense of herself and her skills.
