Another great sports story: Pitch.
Very much a tale of firsts – the first female pitcher of color to play the major leagues, the first Mexican-American to become a general manager -- it is also a great human interest story about a young woman thrown into pitching by a disappointed dad. He couldn’t get his son interested in the game, but his daughter was.
Her path to fame, with all its tests and trials, is only one part of this excellent series, which, unfortunately only ran for one season before Fox cancelled it. A shame – it has great writing, casting, and directing. And an excellent story you want to follow.
