(Please read the whole description) Hi, I’m here to say something that I think is a huge issue. Women are excluded from guys sports just because they are “Not physically strong enough.” And I’m just sitting on the couch saying... “Seriously?! So THAT’S what you think of girls? That we aren’t “strong enough”? So dumb, it’s like you think we can’t fend for ourselves, that we need someone to help us. ALSO, there is a HUGE difference between baseball and softball. FOR EXAMPLE, the ball and bat is bigger in softball, the field is smaller, and the. Pitcher is closer to the hitter. Don’t believe me? Look it up! There are also different pitches. Baseball, it’s OVERHAND, while softball is UNDERHAND. And it’s just SO DUMB! We do not need special treatment, but we still do get it anyway! If you want to learn about a girl who wants to play baseball, I suggest you read “Sliding Into Home”. And then you will see, it’s a real problem! Some people say.... oh, it’s just the same as baseball. And I’m saying... Seriously? It’s NOT the same! Just please stop saying that! Like me, I LOVE Baseball, and would really like to play on a team, but NOOO I have to resort to playing Softball. I mean, it’s not the same thing, and all people do is make little excuses saying... “Oh, a girl can’t play, because the field is too big” or something like that. And it just IRRITATES me that people think that they can push us around, and do whatever they want with us! I mean, out of 100, about 45% of women like the sport of baseball, so why can’t they play too? We need to have some change to this world, i mean, in places like Japan, they have a baseball team for girls, why can’t we? I mean, women and girls are already allowed to play all of the other sports like Football, Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, Rugby, Lacrosse, and so much more. But why not BASEBALL? That is certainly ridiculous and we need to do something about it. Who’s with me!? Now, don’t get me started on the “All American Baseball leauge,” yes, its really cool, but I’m talking about now! It’s the 21st century people! We need to do something about this unknown problem! FAST FACTS - In 1931, 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell signed with the Chattanooga Lookouts, a minor league team in the Southern Association. She was a pitcher who is best remembered for striking out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in an exhibition game. - The first woman owner of a major league team was Helene Britton, who owned the St. Louis Cardinals from 1911 to 1917. - Women have been playing baseball since 1866 - Girls were officially admitted to Little League on June 12, 1974. - LOOK AT THIS! The All American Girls Professional Baseball League or AAGPBL debuted in 1943 to give baseball fans something else to watch during World War II. Philip Wrigley, a chewing-gum mogul and owner of the Chicago Cubs, started the league and soon found that there was an abundance of women with baseball talent through the U.S. and Canada. He used Hall of Fame players Dave Bancroft, Max Carey, and Jimmie Foxx as manager in the league to draw interest. The league enjoyed many years of success before eventually folding in 1954. A League of Their Own, a movie starring Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna depicted the early years of the league.
