nice
apparently, for the first time since 1989 a female umpire will be involved in a MLB game. it’s only an exhibition game, but it’s still awesome. and who knows, she might be asked to continue into the regular season. i love some of the player reactions:
“It’s awesome,” Cubs star Derrek Lee said. “I think it’s about time. Female eyes are as good as male eyes. Why can’t they be umpires? Good for her.”
“She’s doing our game? Oh, cool,” Scott Eyre said. “How do I feel about it? I could care less. If she can call a game, she can call a game.”
it’s nice to see men being accepting of women in male dominated professional sports. even if they’re not playing. i’d love to see a woman officiating an NHL game. that would be awesome.
