No, there was no stage or pole, there was however a diamond. At 17 years old, on April 2, 1931 she struck out NY Yankee’s star, Babe Ruth. And the Babe was pissed. Then she struck out the next up from Murderers’ Row, Lou Gehrig. Lou was more reserved... or embarrassed. Quote:
Ruth was pissed, Lazzeri and 4th up Chapman said not a chance. Gehrig and manager McCarthy don’t play dat. Quote:

At one time that attitude was expected, encouraged even. Now it's only voiced of locker room tapes like grab 'em by the pussy.

I feel like this was the basis for the Futurama episode A Leela of Her Own.
Although, absurdly, after Leela is hired as a publicity stunt, she is actually the worst player ever, and ends up motivating other aspiring female athletes to try even harder, to overcome her awful representation of women.
