Is there a rule that prohibits women from playing on an MLB team?

Question:I've always wondered this, I'm sure there are plenty of talented women out there who play baseball but I don't know of something like WMLB or if there's a rule in MLB that doesn't let them play in the big league.

There is an unwritten rule since World War II Ithat women do not play professional baseball only when the men go off to War.

When the men came home from the war, they went back home.

I don't know if there is a rule or not, but girls are talented enough to play baseball. They aren't going to be able to hit a 98 mph fastball or some sick braking ball that is going even 80 mph. There is a professional softball league for your information.

Who here thinks that bonds doesnt deserve the chance to break aarons home run record?

There's no rule against it, and if there was I'm pretty sure it would of been challenged in court by now. There just aren't many women who play baseball at a high level. Most of them play softball instead which is a different game than baseball. The skills don't really translate that well to baseball even though you might think they do. If a girl played baseball her whole life and developed the skills to make it as a pro I don't see any reason why she wouldn't be given a shot. She might never make it out of A-ball but a lot of people would kill for a shot at that. I guess to sum up, there isn't a rule against it, but its not going to happen anytime soon.
