60 years ago, the Yankees rejected her request to be a bat girl. On Monday, they fulfilled her dream

As a 10-year-old, Gwen Goldman dreamed of being a bat girl for the New York Yankees, but she was turned down because of her gender. Sixty years later, she finally got her wish. 

The Yankees made Goldman, 70, their honorary bat girl on Monday night ahead of their matchup against the Los Angeles Angels. She spent the day with the team, got a full uniform, met players and even got to throw a ceremonial first pitch on the mound.  In a news conference after her appearance, she said the experience was "something that I never would have expected."
