By Claire Atkins Verified| Hemel Hempstead Gazette & Express Verified An adventure a year in the making... This time last year Claire was contacted out of the blue, by her Australian cousin, Ben, who messaged asking if she wanted to be part of an English Channel relay team - Channel Attack 2023. "Hell no!" was her first response, but very quickly she changed her mind and grabbed the exciting opportunity. "I remembered I was soon to be 50, and if I didn't do it now, when would I have the chance again?" says Claire.
By Katie Barnes Verified, Claire Atkins Verified| espnW Verified "Pitch" is the fictional tale of Ginny Baker, the first woman to pitch in Major League Baseball, and the show is promoted as "a true story on the verge of happening." That is definitely a stretch. A woman isn't going to start for the league this year, and probably not within the next five years. Actually, a woman may never join an MLB team. But that isn't exactly the point.
