This is the woman I married when she was younger. She played baseball in all the local leagues until they made her play softball. She could keep up with any of the boys. She played softball through HS.
She had to teach me how to throw a ball. I am so athletic it is hilarious. Only way I could get my sons out during baseball is because I had a natural Eefus pitch (it was my fastball. and I could sometime successful throw a knuckle ball.
She taught our boys to hit and throw at younger ages. Kept book for them all through school. Every parent meeting for any baseball team my sons were ever on, at a certain point the coach would ask, who is Mrs. Cooper. We knew the next question. Would she be interested in keeping the Book. Same thing with my younger kid with wrestling.
All her Uncles on the maternal side played pro or semipro baseball in Rhode Island.
