Women’s Baseball: History Is Made Women’s professional baseball just had their first-ever draft, and history was made when Kelsie Littmore became the first woman selected in a pool of 120 players. The league, which has been years in the making, represents a monumental step forward for women’s sports and baseball alike. This is only the beginning: there are teams forming across the country and a … Continue reading Monday Musings 11.24
Monday is here again and so are my musings on all things sportsball. Let’s dive right in!
