My teacher Mrs. Richards ask my class to find a scholarly article about a topic related to our blogs. I decided that I would read an article on whether that that women should play in the MLB.

Should Women be able to play Major League baseball?

In my opinion I think that anybody should be able to play any sport if they have the talent and determination to play. In the article it states that there were women who played baseball in other leagues such as the Negro League. There was a double-A player by the name of Jackie Mitchell who signed with the Chattanooga Lookouts where she pitched a game against the New York Yankees. The first batter she faced and struck out was Babe Ruth and the Second was Lou Gehrig! This showed everyone that women could compete on a level as high as men. Then there was a woman by the name of Toni Stone who played in the Negro Leagues when she was 30 years old. She played second base and batted .280 for the San Francisco Sea Lions and .243 for the Indianapolis clowns where she hit off of no other than the one and only Satchel Paige! Toni showed that she could play and compete in the same league as men. If there were more women like these shown then I’m sure there will be many more female players in the MLB.
