Women do play baseball. One woman got as high as double recently. Women lack the upper body strength to play on the same level as men in baseball. Women strong enough to hit it out of the infield, who have the reflexes to hit major league pitching and are fast enough to play a posisition are extremely rare. That one would go through all the publicity and harrassment is even rarer. So if women do find a niche it'll likely be as under arm pitchers. Some ladies softball pitchers can whip a softball close to 100 mph. Not quite the same as doing it in baseball but close enough that you will likely eventually see a woman pitching for a major leage baseball team.

Forget about what is being said. People will do anything for easy points. I say, keep doing what you doing and being a playa isn't easy. We players, have reputations to protect from those who want to be like us. Just play it and set it up smoothly. Besides, that's what women are good for. Once they all find out, just play it off like a rumor being spread and move onto the next. DON'T TRIP!!! TRUST ME, HOMIE!!!

Talking about men AND women teams vrs eachother?\n\n^ NO. NCAA players have one goal of being good enough to get drafted into the NBA therefor playing with women would only eliminate chances of real competition to be scouted with. Playing girls isn't fair to the guy being physically better or the girl not being able to match the physical attributes.\n\nIf you're asking to make one huge league for a womans league, and a mens, then why? What would be the point? The conferences of long history of tradition. Like the SEC for big southern schools. The ACC for atlantic coast schools. If you follow Basketball you know know better.

I totally agree as long as an equal substitute is available for women. I prefer to play sports with the girls and save other activities for the boys ;0) My man plays on his softball team and I play on mine and when we want to play together we join a co-ed but it would be dumb to try to get on a men only team!@! Hints the name MEN'S TEAM!!!!!! Some women just have "penis envy" Dont hold it agains the rest of us!

i think if women were up to the standard of the men then sure. I'm totally for women playing football (as i used to before injury) but i dont believe that the standard is high enough. the womens game just isnt strong enough!

Typically softball is played by women, and baseball for men. However, softball is played by both guys and girls, my nephew plays! Even at my job, we hold softball games (baseball's too rough, softball's a little..softer if you will,  and have smaller balls), and the teams are guys and girls.  Also, notice how when girls play softball, people call it girls/women's softball,  not just softball? Sports are for both sexes, like football is mostly men, but still there are still some girls who play it and ice-skating is both girls and guys..... either way, you play for the love of the game, and you have fun   :-)

Its extremely different. For one, you don't run the bases as you do in baseball. And I do believe one person can keep hitting........and hitting.........and hitting. But what do I know? *shrugs*

Sure why not.  Be careful though, some are players cuz it comes easy since they're always taking off.  There's only a handful that are down to be serious but if you're just looking for a wam bam thank you man than you're set girlfriend!

i don't know who you talked to, but most softball players are not gay. i have been involved with softball since i was four and have only met 1 gay player.

Ok pitching a softball is totally different than pitching a baseball. Theres no way someone like jenny finch could just join a team in the MLB. Now if you taught a girl how to pitch a baseball from a young she might have the skills but like all other sports men just won't let it happen. I mean keith hernadez went nuts because a girl was in the dugout. it just won't happend

well I hate to say this but yrs and yrs ago men did the hard jobs and woman were to stay home cook,clean,and have kids ( not thats right but )\nMen (most) have a block on there shoulder and Its a mans game Hard hitting blood and beer. Oh and not lets forget it gives them time away for there GF or Wives (oops Thats a secret) Im a Guy and I find no problem with girl watching football or any sport but society says differnt most people were raised as pigs (in a sence) and it will take a long time for it to change It took forever for woman to have rights and same goes for sports. HE** in 20 yrs men will think ice not hockey skateing will be a mans sport. Or maybe men found out woman are smarter then men Well science says so.. And Im a guy And now I know someone or everyguy who reads this will report me for abuse and give me a thumbs down. OH NO MY LIFE IS OVER..... Enjoy the game and home your team goes all the way

A mans game? Is that so? I know it is difficult picturing women cheering on a team during the Super Bowl and things but its not totally impossible. Nothing about the game? Are you kidding me? I play football! It might have to do with sexist remarks like this.

This travesty is one of the few that still remain in sports today.  The league has cracked down on the changing strike zone and I know this will be worked on next year.  You are right on, though, it is a joke and a pity that they won't start making the call as it should be made as they do in all other levels of the sport!  Great question!

Not enough pitching, hitting or fielding.  But probably the worst is that a lot of times they just aren't playing good baseball.  Awhile back there was a runner on their and the pitcher decided to try to pick him off..problem was no one told the 3rd baseman and the ball went into the stands.  They are constantly missing curofff's and making poor baserunning decisions.

There isn't that large of a fan base for the pros.  We used to go to the games and virtually no one was there in the stands.  I think that they should have left softball in the olympics.  Softball has always been a hot topic of the olympics.  Since I have graduated from college, I had to hang up my glove.  Damn, it hurt so bad.  Now all I have to look forward to is the NCAA championships to watch each May.  I tried coaching varsity high school softball, but the girls didn't have the heart that I had for the sport and it was just too frustrating.  The problem is that people like watching men play sports more so than women.  What's sad is that I have to listen to my boyfriend say that MLB is much harder than Fastpitch softball.  It really pisses me off.  I think that ESPN has noticed that they get great ratings during NCAA championships, so now they might play the National games.  I have a couple of friends that played pro in Akron, but they didn't get paid good and the fan base was not great.

try going directly to little league, babe ruth/ cal ripen league, pony league. you'll find that most offer girls softball as well as boys baseball and girls are allowed to play boys baseball if they want to. I think the better question is whether boys are allowed to play girls softball. If so I wonder if you could find a boy willing to play in a girls league.
