I found out the show "Amazing Sports Stories" shows on FSN ( Fox Sports Network ) but unfortunately the information seems to be outdated. But here is the episode guide if anyone is interested. http://www.nashentertainment.com/television/amazingsports/episodeguide.html Truly an amazing tale.

I think the reason you don't see more female baseball players is because of softball. Softball is inferior to baseball (no leading off, larger ball "easier" to hit, generally shorter games), and yet somehow we force women to play it instead of baseball starting after T-ball. Ludicrous. It's not that I have a problem with softball, it's just that it was clearly designed to be a lower-intensity alternative for winter/recreational play. Why we ghettoize female players this way is well beyond me. Thanks, this is great.
