This is a picture of a player from a team in The Detroit Women's Baseball League. Yes, Baseball, not Softball. This leauge is still around; you have to be 18 years or older to join any team in this league. Two semi-pro teams are The Detroit Diesel and The Detroit Danger. I feel that this picture shows that girls do want to play baseball. I know that there is softball but softball is basically baseball going easy on the girls. Girls should not be treated differently-no softball. First there was baseball and girls like to play it, people thought that it was to tough for the girls so they came up with softball. I think that girls can handle it and do not need any leage way. Softball is ok to have as long as the rules do not change due to the female team-mates. This league has been around since the early 1990's and is still growing strong. This league is supported by the AWBF, AAU Women's Baseball, and USA Baseball. They are all non-profitable organizations that help improve the popularity of women's baseball. For more information you can go to http://www.eteamz.com/detroitdiesel/files/Diesel_Flyer.htm.
