Summary
Can a woman make it to the Major Leagues? Twenty-five year old Casey Collins is somewhat of an anomaly. She is the only woman playing men's minor league baseball. When a series of events causes Casey to jump two divisions from Class A to Class AAA, it puts her one step away from the majors, and places her on a national stage. Sparking a nationwide debate, it asks the question, Can a woman compete in a man's sport at this level? In a cross between Bull Durham and A League Of Their Own, follow this incredible young woman as she struggles to overcome politics, sexism and the athletic challenges of competing in a male dominated sport. The Ninth Man has it all action, humor, romance, as well as a collection of great one liners: "The term Baseball Player is not gender specific," "A woman's place is at home-home plate that is," and "Hasta La Baseball, Baby!" The Ninth Man is entertaining and uplifting, and presents a scenario that is sure to spark debate on whether a woman will someday cross the boundaries and make it to the major leagues. The Ninth Man-it's about more than baseball
