Premise

A young female softball player Paula Fradkin (Robyn Barto) is obsessed with baseball.

Paula travels to Fort Lauderdale during Spring Training and tries to convince the Denver Devil's owner Sandy (Harry Hamlin) and manager Lou (Dana Elcar) to let her try-out for the team.

Her assault major league's gender barrier is finally made possible when team owner Sandy, a male-chauvinist and bachelor, is attracted to Fradkin's personal manager Liz (Mimi Rogers).

Paula performs well in training, but the fact that the new player at second base is female leads to resentment among both players and officials. Eventually coach Dirk (Kenneth McMillan) calls on Paula to bat in a game and she responds with a base hit.

gollark: The old version of it was actually written in Rust, but I'm not very good at that so I rewrote it.

gollark: It's actually on github too: https://github.com/osmarks/autobotrobot

gollark: My bot has about 300 lines of code, and it has... a fortune command, `++delete` (a joke one which just says "Deleted [whatever you typed]" and adds it to the deleted items list), a command to list recently "deleted" things, a command to run various esolangs and stuff using TIO.run, and a reminder thing.

gollark: Many of them *are* pretty similar.

gollark: I mean, kind of? Most of the complex Discord interaction logic is done by discord.py or whatever you use, but you do still have to program the commands.
