I used to coach my niece when she played softball. Taught her how to throw and hit starting around the age of 7. She had a gun for an arm and a natural opposite field swing. She played catcher on her high school team, and I was proud as hell. She used to talk to me about why no women had ever played in the big leagues before. I was very honest with her... Women aren't good enough to compete in ANY sports against men. Certainly there are women that are better than some men I told her, but the top level of each sex there is no comparison. There is a reason women compete in separate events in the Olympics.
