Two or three days a week, when she’s not fighting fires or raising her own two children or in the backyard putting innings on her own arm, Tamara Holmes spends a few hours volunteering answers to the question, “What more can I do?”
Earnest girls and young women hit for average, frame fastballs and chase fly balls. They run their laps, do their pushups and pour their allowances into metal boxes at batting cages. They come back to Tamara and ask, “What more can I do?”

Maggie, the only girl in her Colt League, where she was 6-1 on the mound and batted .380 and was one for one with two walks in the All-Star Game, and the only girl on her travel team, the Granite State Thunder, later sat at her phone and typed out, “The hiring of Kim Ng will inspire young girls all over, and it won’t matter if they are a baseball fan or not. They now know that they can do anything, and will have a future in front of them that is so bright. She inspires me to know that there are jobs available for me in the industry, and if I work hard enough I can have a position like hers and inspire young girls to do the same.”
