Exclusive access to premium content!Inspired by watching Caitlin Clark play in this year’s NCAA tournament, Amy is feeling uncharacteristically “sporty” in this week’s bonus episode. She’ll dive into the history of Ina Eloise Young, America’s first female sports editor at a daily newspaper whose coverage of the 1908 World Series so impressed other newspapermen covering the games that she was immediately named an honorary member of the newly-formed Baseball Writers Association. Ina’s prowess recording box scores also proves triggering to Amy, who shares her own brief tenure working for the sports section of her hometown newspaper.
