Mo'ne Davis, a 13 year old baseball playing, 70 mph right-arm throwing -- Philadelphia native, is the first female in Little League World Series history to throw a shutout with only two hits, while striking out eight batters and walking none against Tennessee.
And although the little leaguer has already made a name for herself and garnered world wide press along the way, she remains humble in knowing who she is but most importantly -- what equality should like look as she stated, "it does mean a lot to be the first American girl, but more girls should start joining boys' teams," Davis told the Philadelphia Daily News.
"The attention should not just be on one girl; more girls should join boys' teams so it is a tradition and it won't be so special."
There you have it; beauty, brains, brawn, and a stellar bright star for all little girls who love sports and wish to participate.
Mo'ne's future goals require being the first female in MLB, or playing basketball in the WNBA -- although baseball is her priority.
Her team plays against Las Vegas, 2-0, on Wednesday night.
