Why are there no FEMALE players in MLB?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) October 12th, 2008

At one time, there were no blacks in Major League Baseball, but Jackie Robinson took care of that, and showed the world that anyone can play baseball, and play it well.

Well, almost anyone, as long as you don’t have a vagina…

There are girls who play in Little League, drive Soapbox Derby cars, and even those who participate in Professional Wrestling, so WHY NOT Major League Baseball?

To support this question, I call everyone’s attention to the movie Blue Skies Again, and suggest that if you haven’t seen it, see it. If you have seen it, see it again.

Yes, it is fiction, AstroChuck, but the idea of a woman playing pro baseball is an idea whose time has come, and in the 21st Century, this needs to happen.

The women of our nation are every bit as qualified and able to play the game with alacrity, and in many cases, they can put “the Big Boys” to shame!

Are the team owners AFRAID of them?

(Note: If a woman is on a major league baseball team and currently playing in sanctioned games, tell me who she is, because I don’t know about her, at all.)
