Nah, you're not boring me, I'm finding it very interesting.

I also find the existence of women's baseball today very interesting. I probably need to restrain the impulse to sit on my hands when people (even people I like who are on my flist!) doubt women's capability to play baseball at a high level.

(I'm also working on a piece of baseball fiction that takes place in 2040, and there will be women players in it. It makes sense to me, and am afraid that a lot of people won't think that it does for them.)

oh, good! because i am so excited about the whole thing i can't really control myself. so it's nice to know that other people are interested.

i was completely unaware that there was a professional softball league, let alone a women's baseball league until the other day. now i totally want this t-shirt:

How about Sammi Kane Kraft? She played the badassed 12-year-old pitcher in the Bad News Bears remake but only landed the part because she could pitch.

whoa! awesome! i really need to remember to find out if any girls are in portland little league this year so i can go watch. the soccer game i went to involved a few girls on the island team, so i think that might be the place to look first.

I happen to live in pretty much the most soccer-oriented city in the Boston area, so all my friends played in the local youth soccer league (I did too, for that matter, but I sucked). And when I went to my brother's little league games (when he played, that is), there was sometimes a girl or two on each team.

I would love to be a little league assistant coach, but the city's local league is really bad. All the coaches are obnoxious, too, as I learned when my brother played.
