Of the 27 baseball games I saw in person this year, 22 were all women on the field. A lot of people have waited a long time for this smallest hint at a level playing field and there is much work still to do.

How the LA Queens won the first-ever WPBL championship on the night that Ayumi Sato pitched the first-ever WPBL shutout. ✍️ @cliffcorcoran.bsky.social: www.theixsports.com/features/que...

👑 Los Angeles Queens are the first champions in WPBL history. They beat San Francisco 2-0 in Game 5, and Ayami Sato threw a complete-game shutout: 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB. Sato was named WPBL Championship MVP. 🏆⚾ What a finish to Year 1.

Researching the exact location, but the baseball diamond once located at 7th and Enos hosted the 1st women's pro baseball game. The nearby sculpture garden is possibly part of the site where the Blondes and the Brunettes faced off in Springfield over 150 years ago. #WBHT

There will be a game four! Fun night at #WPBL championships.

Just minutes away from the historic first WPBL championship and we're reminded of when IWBC created calendars, dating back 10 years, to promote women and girls in baseball. See some familiar faces? Congrats to everyone who has waited a long time for this. #WPBL #BaseballForAll #StepUptotheSport

New office decor has definitely upped the cool factor around here.
