How hard do you have to throw a screwball to break the glass ceiling?
The attached note reads: Dear Ginny, Bill and I couldnt be rooting for you more!
Best of luck, Hillary.

Theres also a basket from Ellen DeGeneres.
Its a lot to swallow.
We see little girls holding out markers for autographs.
And if that upsets you, well, maybe youre just getting your period.
Is that enough baseball-movie magic for you?
Well, good, because theres more (much more) in the form of Ginnys backstory.
She throws wild pitch after wild pitch before asking to be pulled from the game.
Its her personal nightmare and the Padres worst PR fear.
After all, as weve been reminded every 10 seconds,the whole world is watching.
(The whole world is watching FS1?
Doesnt this historic moment deserve some primetime web link coverage?)
Ginnys hardcore fail turns the episode from indulgent to respectable.
She doesnt throw a no-hitter or break any records.
She puts up a solid performance, then turns the game over to the bullpen.
It seems, for a moment, thatPitchhas gotten all the turmoil out of its system.
Then we get one more flashback glimpse at Ginny and Pop.
Driving home from a state-championship game sometime in the past, Ginny and Pops are in a head-on collision.
Only Ginny walks away.
Thats right: Pops is dead.
He was dead all along.
If youre the kind of person who likes to fact-checkEmpire,Pitchmight not be for you.
A rookie who just came off a world-famous bad start, showboating like that over five measly strikeouts?
Not a chance, I thought.
Its about how things could be.
Are you picking up whatPitchis throwing down?
What do you think of Bunburys performance?
Can the show keep up its grand sports-movie vibe?
And did anyone see that twist coming?
