thats not what I said. First of I honestly think it would be few and far between, and secondly I don't want to see a woman playing baseball in the MLB. As I said before... I just dont want to see it... I don't have a great argument but its one of the few things that I am very closeminded about.Quote:

Brains wise, a woman is no better nor any worse than a man, phyisicaly women are NOT the same and I will go to my grave saying that.
Every person is different. Such a blanket statement cannot possibly be true.Quote:
