MLB is pretty top heavy right now but at least the wild cards in the AL should be a race.

The vintage baseball league fell through. I was the only female sign-up and the manager started by asking if my tits would interfere with baserunning. gently caress that. Hopefully I can get on a rec softball team this summer.

Not only is that sexist as poo poo, it's also dumb as hell. I would love for my vintage team to have a woman. One it's historically accurate and two those dresses are a godsend in the field. The vast, vast majority of errors take place at first base because it turns out trying to catch a baseball that some dude whips at you because he forgets you're not wearing a glove is pretty difficult. There's a team that we play fairly regularly that has a woman in one of those huge bustle dresses and she plays first. She uses that huge dress to stop everything that comes at her so she basically makes zero errors, it's a huge advantage.

Non-competitive co-ed wiffle-ball is also a good idea if you're not into softball. Smaller fields and weather really even out the competition because you can't just send body builders out there to try to hit the ball 450 feet every time.

A ground ball to the nuts is a much more likely scenario.

We have a woman playing on one of my baseball teams, wife of one of the players. She got tired of softball and decided to try baseball and it's worked out well. People are dumb.

The only person I hated catching in high school was a girl because her fastball hurt my hand if I caught it on a thin spot in the padding (it was an old glove so it had a lot of those).

My last wiffle ball team ended in the final four of the season with the opposing team's captain getting ejected for complaining about literally every play to the refs. Then our captain got ejected with about a minute left for throwing her bat at the opposing pitcher and screaming that she shouldn't be allowed to pitch anymore because she was throwing overhand and too fast. We lost and our entire team stayed for the title game to cheer against the team that beat us. They lost and it was basically as good as winning.

Would highly recommend.

I pimped a HR only to watch someone jump up and knock it back into play. Chaos ensued. Wiffle ball is great.

I wish Mets Twitter could get it through its thick loving skull that "I hope David Wright retires because gently caress that guy" and "I hope that if given the choice between NOT allowing baseball to debilitate him permanently beyond repair and continuing to play even though his vertebrae are being ground into a fine powder, he chooses the former" are two different statements.
