This came through just as I was a bit too old to play Little League. But my friends girls can, and do.

I'm sure you can sneak into a 14-and-under game, bat cleanup, and sneak out before anyone notices.

I somehow don't think that my 50+ year old self is quite spry enough for shortstop anymore.

I applaud this and all of the honorable mentions- I can only hope one day the wife will be allowed to be my legal wife, recognized all across the US. But Women's rights to beat the boys at their own game is a total win. (personally I prefer kicking my male roommate and my brother's buts in Mortal Kombat and or MtG)

That day will come. New York will be the tipping point for the Blue States, as none of us want New York to be cooler than we are. Somehow it will all work out after that.

Nice. :)

Me, I'd pick either the Thirteenth or the Twenty-First Amendment (or if you want to be picky about it, the enabling legislation thereunto appertaining), but I got no beef with Title IX.

I'll take the Fifth.

If you're going to go the route of equal-access laws, my vote is for the Americans With Disabilities Act. It hasn't had the impact that Title IX has had, in part because the underlying idea -- that everybody, and we mean everybody, should have access to public accommodations, protection from discrimination, and the like -- was so revolutionary that, 20 years after its passage, businesses still refuse to accept that the law's provisions apply to them.

No objection there.
