You would fit in very well with the Jays, Jen. They have not had a good-hitting shortstop in a loooooong time. They have had good defensive players there(Johnny Mac, for example), which have saved runs on quite a few plays.

I would prefer you to play that position than Johnny Mac. You would both be good defensively, but you are far prettier.

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't suggesting that girls aren't as good as boys when it comes to playing ball, only that the perception would be that they would be less expensive to sign!

I dout i would have made the pros, I was a good shortstop by little league standards had i stayed with it i may have made a colleage team but my poor hitting would have kept me out of the minors

Bah! Have you seen some of the players that actually make gross amounts of cash? Some of them are horrible hitters! I'll bet that you could outhit quite a few of them, Jen. Don't forget, you would have coaches(Major League ones) to help work on your swing. You could do it!

JEN:

This is not meant to be insultive or offensive in ANY way.

It sounds like you couldn't hit the fastball, was that your hitting problem?

I think my problem was when it was my turn to bat i'd hear from my own team thats the next out so i'd just go up and swing at anything just three straight swings then sit down once in a blue moon i'd get lucky and mange a hit

When I was coaching, I would bench any player -- even my best player -- for saying something like that, even if it was only whispered to someone else. What an outrage!

And they wonder why so many people suffer from low self-esteem any more. I was bullied in school and never really had much desire to play a game where the bullies would be on the same team as me.
