Mo ' ne Davis had a lot to celebrate in 2014 . The Philadelphia Little Leaguer took the saying " You throw like a girl " to new heights after becoming the first girl to win and throw a shutout in Little League World Series history . From that point on , she proved to be unstoppable .
Mo ' ne ' s accomplishments include appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated , having her jersey displayed in baseball ' s Hall of Fame and being named Sports Illustrated Kids ' SportsKid of the Year . And let ' s not forget that time she met President Obama and even starred in a Spike Lee commercial .
And what better way to top off the year than to be named the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year ? " A lot of adults around me help out , taught me to be respectful , to be calm during everything and not let anything get to you ," Mo ' ne said after learning of her latest honor . Mo ' ne is the youngest winner in the history of the award .
But don ' t ever label Mo ' ne a one-trick pony . She isn ' t putting all of her baseballs in one basket . She not only excels at baseball but is also a star basketball player who eventually wants to play college basketball .
Needless to say , if Mo ' ne ' s 2015 is anything like her 2014 , we ' ll be hearing a lot from her in the New Year .
