Never.
I don't know when, but I hope never.
i voted after 2080, before 2090, but really, I dunno. Not in my lifetime.
Maybe never, maybe some time in the distant, distant future. But if/whenever that is, I don't believe it will be in my lifetime.
Not to sound sexist, but I am with Tang
I personally dont care, if she was good enough to play with the big boys, than I would think I can adjust to that, but if she was some dump truck player and the only reason that she got a chance to play was because of her sex, than I would have more of an issue with that.
Yep. I don't care who plays, as long as they're good enough to play and it's not a cheap gimmick.Quote:

Would you rather see a girl play baseball that looked like Pam Anderson but sucked so bad your favorite team would lose all the time or a girl that looked like Wilford Brimley that hit like Pujols on your team and got you a World Series ring.
another BINGLE classic.Quote:

Same joke, not a classic.
Women in baseball? I dunno. Whenever one is good enough.
What position do you think that first woman would be likely to play? I'm guessing, 2B.
Pitcher
I'll take the first! Give her the A-Rod type contract. :DQuote:

In fact, here she is:

Personally, I'd insist that she be a catcher. :eek:Quote:

and she MUST wear those skirts from a leageue of their own :D
How do women have time to play baseball? Aren't they too busy in the kitchen and bedroom?
Edit: It's a joke, before pro-women people start bashing me
shouldnt joke aobut what should be ;)Quote:

...why?
Not that I really care. Saying that you never want them to play MLB baseball is fine by me (although I'll readily admit to the opposite view, that women should play), I'm just curious about what the problem is.
And if you said after 2100, you might be proven right, but you are unlikely to live to know about it. And really, people that said never would be proven right if MLB ever folded - which I see as roughly as likely as a woman making it to MLB.Quote:

yup, absolutely.Quote:

some would (not necessarily you) call that sexist. it's like those that didn't want Jackie Robinson on the field because he wasn't white...it's very similar if you think about it. You are used to it being this way...and many people don't seem to want to want to accept that possible change. I am not calling you a sexiest or anything, or trying to really compare you individually...but the idea is similar. Keeping it men only, is like saying foreigners can't play, or that blacks can't play etc etc....if you are good enough for the Major Leagues, then you have every right to try out for a team, and if you are good enough and can make it...more power to you, you just made the game better by simply being a part of it.Quote:

Yeah, excuse me for calling it sexist if your reason is "because I don't want them to."
