MO'NE DAVIS WILL DONATE

HISTORIC JERSEY TO HOF

COOPERSTOWN – Mo'ne Davis, the first female pitcher to win a game at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., will be at the Hall of Fame Thursday to donate the jersey she wore during the historic victory.

Davis will visit the Hall along with teammates from both her Taney Little League World Series team and the Anderson Monarchs, her travel team since she was 7, to present the donation to Museum President Jeff Idelson. She was in Otsego County earlier this summer, where she played with the Monarchs at Cooperstown All-Star Village in West Oneonta.

Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, a former Negro Leagues pitcher and one of only three women to play in the Negro Leagues, will also attend Thursday’s donation event at the Museum.
