Major League Baseball Question??
Question:If a woman was just as good as a guy could she play MLB with the guys not softball! Baseball... I know theres softball for girls but If the Girl was lets say amazing at pitching and could pitch a perfect game and throw strikes and pitch 95 mph fast balls could she play baseball with the guys or is there some rule that a girl can't play... remember shes just as good maybe even better then the guys... could she play or is there a rule or something...

Are some of you haters really rooting for A-Rod to surpass the Babe?
Their are no specific rules banning women from the MLB, I believe there has been a few women who have tried out for teams but never made it.I think a girl should have the right to play any type of game with any type of group. But I think women aren't allowed to play MLB simply because of safety precautions. But I'm not 100% sure. I will ask and tell you later :)
Are Yankees Or Red Sox Better ?
Personally I don't see any problem with it. If she is good enough, why not? Of course baseball can't even resolve the steroid issue so I wouldn't think Bud Selig could handle something like this. I say yes, if a woman can play then sign her up!How do i delete a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League?
Why not. Its been done in the nhl. The only thing is they dont have girls baseball and I dont know if its allowed for a girl to be on a guys team maybe?Are the Blue Jays just calling it quits on the season?
If there was such a "super-girl", there's no doubt she'd be on a Major League roster, most likely the Yankees or the Red Sox.Having said that, imagine how the ball club would have to accommodate having a girl in the locker room. She would probably be treated like a pariah, something akin to what Jackie Robinson went through when he became the first negro ballplayer. Also, it is extremely rare for any ballplayer to completely bypass the minor leagues so you can only imagine the hell she would go through down in the (no pun intended.maybe) "bush" leagues.
Bottom line, there is no rule against having a girl play at any level of professional baseball. Oh, final thought, could you imagine the ego humbling that would take place is a "dude" ballplayer was bested by a girl.
Who will win the World Series this year?
Softball and baseball are different games.The White Sox actually did once draft a young woman - it may have been Fisk's daughter, but she never signed.
Teams sports is the last true meritocracy, and if a woman could prove that she could play baseball, not softball, but baseball at that level, why not. After all, Casey Candaele's mother was a better baseball player than he was - Helen St Aubin Candaele Callaghan was a star in the AAGPBL, and was commonly referred to as the female Ted Williams.
There's no rule.
It WASN'T done in the NHL. Rheaume played with a junior team.
No, you wouldn't need separate clubhouses. You'd just curtain off a section IF and as necessary. That if refers to attitudes in the clubhouse.
Which of these 500 home run hitters did not win R.O.Y?
If she could help the team, why not. There are some other problems that arise with this, though. Seperate clubhouses would be needed. Thats not really a good thing for team unity. This would have to be arranged at every stadium, even if a girl only played on one team. That may create a problem for owners that don't have any girls on the team, but have to pay for facilities to accomadate them.There is no reason why a woman couldn't play MLB. There are no rules against it.
we have had midgets, deaf players, one armed men, the race barrier being broken, and many other things we thought we would never see in the MLB, but there will never be a woman.
Who is going to be a great break out catcher this year?
I don't think theres any rule that i know of preventing women from playing,more of a thing where no women have really tried to make a major league roster.I mean Tampa Bay Lightning had a woman goalie for awhile back in the 90's so if a woman can make it in a brutal league like the NHL then i don't see what would stop the MLB from giving a woman a shot if she had the same kind of skills as a talented big league male pitcher.The way some women can wing a big softball I don't see any reason why they couldn't wing a much lighter hardball with decent skills so maybe we'll see it happen one day.Are the Milwaukee Brewers for real or is everyone in Wisconsin?
Hi,Some of the greatest players were women even if their league wasn't considered MLB. I think women should be able to play any sport they choose. I heard about a women's football league so baseball should be open as well. Perhaps women will be allowed in the future?
Why do baseball players wear that little colored strap sock - it seems to serve no purpose.?
if shes is only maybe better than a guy she wouldnt get a chance shed have to be amazingThere are no rules against women playing in the big leagues, just a lot of politics.
Whats your opinion on fans getting brutal at games?
i think she should be able to play but there would be HUGE discrimination against it.think of jackie robinson...and also...they would have to have a womens locker room...no more locker room chats/parties cause the girl would have to be absent from the mens rroomHow many wins will josh becket have this year?
Article IX states that I believe. There technically is no gender seen when teams are made.EX:
NHRA Top Fuel driver Melanie Troxel, the season-long NHRA POWERade Series world championship leader with two victories in seven final-round appearances, has been nominated for two ESPY Awards including the prestigious Best Female Athlete award, it was announced today.
Golf and racing seem to be the two sports where girls compete. Others, girls just are born without the size. No girl can competetively play basketball with Shaq.
Why on earth does Derek Jeter make 21 million per season?
Yes woman could play.What do you think about getting rid of the minor league system in baseball?
If a girl is that good why hasn't she tried out for a team yet, that is better than most of the guys out there. I believe is a girl is good enough they should go out there and get on a team. Helps get rid of the guys who can't play very well.If a Woman could throw a 98 miles per hour and can hit a ball out of a 400ft fence, has an cannon for an arm, and can run a 40 yd dash in 3.5 then heck yeah sign her up
but i havent heard of any women that can do this
good luck
When is Scott Podsednik coming back to play for the White Sox?
yeah they could play. years ago there was a girl with the red sox minor leagues who pitch a knuckleball. she got release really fast. the problem is girls are not that good, and the one that are don't try to make it baseball rather they choose another job. but girls are sometimes not good enough it is hard for them to throw hard.More Questions & Answers...
