Agreed. Also, organized baseball banned women 56 years ago. So this whole thread is moot until baseball lifts the ban. There could be a female Jackie Robinson out there but we'd never know it. (I'm not saying there is -- just that the ban is stupid).

What prompted them to do that?

The wikipedia article was great.

Actually, a ban on signing women organized baseball is moot. It would never hold up in court.

Apparently Manny Rameriez is actually a woman, since she is taking female fertility drugs. ;)

Bill Vecke wondered why Gaedel was banned and Phil Rizzuto wasn't.

They're out of your league anyways, so what does it matter?

Are you kidding? A toned female athlete would definitely go for a poor-typing electric company representative, becoming a submissive housewife in no time!

If not now, then DEFINITELY after he installs his new nipple ring
