Mo'ne Davis

timeline

born 2001

How did Mo'ne Davis become an overnight sports sensation? A pitch-perfect performance in front of a crowd of 35,000 + a tv audience of 5 million. The 13-year-old baseball phenom became the first girl to win a game in the Little League World Series after pitching for a shutout victory. Her inspiring story raised the tween up as a role model ~ one who's empowering girls + flipping the script on what it means to "throw like a girl" one 70 MPH strike at a time.

With a Sports Illustrated cover story, ESPY award + jersey in Cooperstown's Hall of Fame, Mo'ne continues to make history ~ as she says, just by being herself.
