She tried to nicely integrate herself into the institution of baseball, but when the commissioner banned her from a stadium for entering the locker room, she wound up the plaintiff in a discrimination suit that opened up the sport to women reporters forever.Episode Sponsor: LOLA -- monthly subscription for organic tampons, pads, and more.
