BABA Ornaments: REFERENCE

OH CLASSIC

GETTING CLOSER

I THINK WE'RE THERE.

NOW!

LET'S LEARN ABOUT THE "BA" IN BABA.

BAs ARE LIVING THINGS! THEY'RE CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT THE IDENTITY OF THEIR DESIGNER INTERFERING WITH USER RELATIONSHIPS! THEY ARE PURE OBJECTS! THEY ARE COMMON OBJECTS! A BA's LIFE IS DEFINED BY ITS APPLICATION! THE RATE AT WHICH IT TRAVELS! THE FREQUENCY OF ABANDONMENT!

IT IS THE MOST PROPER CHAIR! IT IS A FAVORITE CHAIR! IT CAN BE PLACED ANYWHERE!

A BA IS OFTEN CALLED A "LEMON LUMP" OR A "ROSE CLUMP". (NO SOAKING IN BABA UNLESS YOU BELIEVE IT TO BE APPROPRIATE. BAs ARE NOT CONSTRUCTED TO MEET A COMMON CONSENSUS. BEFORE YOU SOAK GIVE THE BA A CHOKE!)

This is Virne Beatrice "Jackie" Mitchell, who was one of the first female pitchers in pro baseball,

and happened to also strikeout Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (two big timers) back-to-back. Babe dismissed it with fashionable misogyny.

A New York paper ran this in response to the event:

"Cynics may contend that on the diamond as elsewhere it is place aux dames. Perhaps Miss Jackie hasn’t quite enough on the ball yet to bewilder Ruth and Gehrig in a serious game. But there are no such sluggers in the Southern Association, and she may win laurels this season which cannot be ascribed to mere gallantry. The prospect grows gloomier for misogynists."

Yet soon after she was fired--apparently due to complaints from her team's other (male) pitcher--followed by the next and final female pro inspiring an ultimate ban of
female players in the league.

So much of what men build their pride upon throughout history are made exceptional or grand because anyone who may challenge the structure is repelled. These things are no big deal, but history would like you to think that they're the feats of powerful men instead of passionate participants. It's incredible how distorted the general public's perception is. Stuff like this hits me hard.

I cried a little.

That's all.

Really inspired to do this comic.
