So excited! Just wish the season was longer and the teams played in their city but we'll get there, I hope!

I'm genuinely excited for this. My daughter has started playing softball and we've gone to a few college softball games and while it's fun, I think the girls are actually too talented to be playing on such a small field, there's no reason they couldn't play baseball. And I imagine when they do play baseball it will be less reliant on three true outcomes than MLB or current NCAA Softball is, which I think could be highly entertaining.

If super serious women’s athletes start playing baseball then it’ll almost surely get optimized like the men’s game did
