First Woman to Play Professional Baseball in Japan

16-year-old Eri Yoshida was drafted by the Kobe 9 Cruise--a new profession baseball team in Japan.

I was the only girl on my little league team when I was growing up so it's awesome to hear about a woman breaking into this old boys club at the professional level.


Okay so now I'm going to link to (gasp!) Fox Sports. I'm not linking there because they have some fantastic in-depth article. It's more because I want you to share my exasperation over the obnoxious comments:

"As long as she realizes that there is NO CRYING IN BASEBALL I think she'll be fine." -- GiantFanSince1990
"I finally figured out whats wrong with baseball---this" --davesgood2
Thankfully there are some really positive comments to balance out the annoying ones.
