(Kobe, Japan) The 1st female professional baseball player resigns at the age of 17.
On October 1, 2009, Yoshida Eri decided that she will no longer pitch in Japan’s Independent Kansai League. Her gender, age, and nonetheless, her submarine knuckleball captured the attention of everyone in Japan and some around the world.
Yoshida Eri (吉田えり) a.k.a. The Knuckler Princess (ナックル姫).
What’s better than a submarine pitcher? A submarine pitcher who is a 17 years old Japanese girl and throws a knuckleball! Yoshida Eri was signed by a team in Japan’s Independent Kansai League last year.
She didn’t do all that well, but hey, submarine knuckleball?!?! That’s my dream come true.
