On Sunday May 22, Bessie Noll, a rangy 15-year-old sophomore at Tokyo's American School in Japan, will board a plane bound for Seoul, South Korea -- and she won?t be going there on vacation.
Instead, she?s traveling as the leadoff batter for the school?s elite varsity baseball team -- the first girl to make the team since its inception, almost a century ago.
Playing with boys is not new to Bessie. She spent the last six years turning out for Musashi Fuchu, a Tokyo Little League team that regularly qualifies for the Little League World Series.
