CLOSER LOOK: This Maple Leafs player had a weekend for the ages
Tonight on 'Closer Look': One of the greatest female baseball players of all time made history on Sunday at Christie Pits in Toronto, pitching two scoreless innings on a team full of men.
In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors. These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: Breaking the glass ceiling — with a fastball.
Ayami Sato is widely considered one of the best female baseball players of all time. The 35-year-old superstar pitcher previously led her home country of Japan to six World Cup championships before coming overseas for a new challenge.
On Sunday, Sato accomplished another milestone: becoming the first woman to ever play for a professional men’s baseball team in Canada.
She tossed two scoreless innings for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the Intercounty Baseball League, leaving the mound to a huge ovation from the crowd at Christie Pits.
