Most Sensational Baseball Feat Ever Attempted in Virginia -- August 25, 2024

Lynchburg News and Advance, 24-August-1924

Miss Mabel Cody, pioneering barnstorming aviator and wing walker, appeared at a baseball game between the Louisville club and Pepsi-Cola of Richmond. Miss Cody stood on the wing of her biplane and dropped a dozen baseballs. Any player who caught a ball received a ten dollar gold piece. 

The Pepsi-Cola team was unable to appear, but a team from Danville filled in. Lynchburg won 15-0.
