| Article 9 |
In week 2, I discussed Justine Siegal's contributions to the MLB. This week I found another article dealing with women in the pro baseball circuit. Retired MLB player David Segui attended a youth tournament in Las Vegas, where he was impressed by what he saw. The squad he watched is made up of the country's best U-13 female players, each of whom was once the only girl on her team. The Dream Team currently has players from five different states. In addition to baseball, they play everything from ice hockey and soccer to mandolin and viola. Seigal, whom I mentioned was the first women to pitch an MLB batting practice, created the Dream Team with her program Justine Siegal's Baseball for All.
Justine's accomplishments, as well as the efforts of all the young girls who continue to fight for what they think is right. If a girl can hold her against all the boys, why shouldn't she be able to compete with them? That's the question that has yet to be answered by Feminist theorists alike.
