When I was 11 I wanted to play baseball with the guys except the coach of the boys baseball team said no because I was a girl and all the guys just laughed.
But when I played softball some of the guys said that I was better than some of the guys on their baseball team. And the coach still wouldn’t let me play.

Baseball is so much different than softball. There’s the ball size, the pitching mound, the size of the field, the type of pitching, etc. I’m pretty sure no one is allowed to deny someone a place on a team if the decision is based solely on gender. If you can play and you really want to play baseball, then you should fight for it.

She wants to play BASEBALL not softball. Big difference. Also, why not play with the guys? Maybe she would keep them on their toes? Don’t be so one-sided. [-(
Maybe there should be coed majors. ;)

Why not play with the girls? Are they not as competative as the boys? Boys should be allowed to play with boys. I don’t see any coed major leagues and thats okay!
