Thirteen year old Mo’ne Davis made history when she became the first Little Leaguer to nab the cover of Sports Illustrated. The Taney Dragon’s pitcher has captured the nation’s attention after becoming the first girl to throw a shutout in World Series history. She threw a two-hitter and struck out eight in a 4-0 win over Nashville last Friday.
Mo’ne Davis is a true inspiration to all inner-city kids, male and female. I think all of the attention she is getting is awesome and well deserved.
