From season 2 of the ABC Afterschool Special:
When a Little League team on the verge of a championship loses a key player, an 11 year old girl, working as an assistant to the team manager, is asked to step in. Future Oscar winner Jodie Foster, in her 2nd appearance on Afterschool Special, stars in "Rookie of The Year":
This episode has never been released on DVD, despite Foster's body of cinematic work since. You'd think someone would've wanted to get this out there.
Anyway, Jodie would return in season 3's "The Secret Life of TK Dearing" for her final appearance in the anthology series.
Personal note: While Little League became co-ed in 1972 nationally, it took about 3-4 years before Troy's Central Little League followed suit, likely the last of the city's leagues to do so.
No rating.
