Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the bad omen of a broken bat on an <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ichiro-suzuki/1101/stats/batting" target="_blank">Ichiro Suzuki</a> statue, whether <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/mason-miller/31757/stats/pitching" target="_blank">Mason Miller</a> is, at this moment, the best pitcher ever on a batter-per-batter basis, and how to label atypical pitches, then Stat Blast (30:00) about team promotional giveaways, age and debut gaps among MLB brothers, and switch-hitters who hit higher in the lineup from one side. Then (47:58) Ben talks to 88-year-old All-American Girls Professional Baseball League pitcher Dolly &#8220;Lippy&#8221; Vanderlip about growing up as the lone girl in games against boys, joining the AAGPBL at age 15, playing for manager <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jimmie-foxx/1004285/stats/batting" target="_blank">Jimmie Foxx</a>, life on and off the field, the end of the league, how A League of Their Own revitalized interest in the AAGPBL, the impending launch of the Women&#8217;s Pro Baseball League, and more.
