She was quickly escorted off the field, but later performed on the vaudeville circuit as "the girl who batted in the Major Leagues."
How about the girl who got a hit in a MLB game? She hit George Brett in the head. He got a concussion out of it iirc.

That's dangerous. George could have lost an eye.

Bad Morganna! Bad, bad Morganna!
