18-year-old Eri Yoshida became the first Japanese woman to play professional baseball in the United States when she pitched against the Tijuana Cimmarones May 29th. (Several American women have played professionally against men. Three black women—Toni Stone, Connie Morgan and Mamie “Peanut” Johnson—played in the Negro Leagues in the 1950s, while in 1997, Ila Borders became the first woman to play in an integrated professional league.)
