JT Cox :

You go Girls!!!

Velooster :

Talked about everything but the National anthem...

Apache438 :

Women’s baseball and softball is so much more entertaining to watch then MLB to me. They’re so much more into it

Lil Messe :

Is the league sponsored by Subaru?

🌈🇵🇸coffee.moose.bread🌈🇵🇸 :

I love when women 🥰

madiwellby :

A league of their own is my all-time favorite movie… I can’t stop smiling at this

Tami :

As a mother of 4 daughters who played or are playing this sport...to all of you people talking about it's not real or won't last and using the wnba as a yard stick I'll tell you the same thing you probably tell your daughters 'sit down shut up and if you don't have anything nice to contribute stay silent.

haroldh :

it's about time

kitkatwoo84 :

Correction, this is HERstory!!! 🥰👏🏽😍💪🏽

auntiebetty :

I was much better at baseball than softball but wasn’t allowed to play. Go girls!

alara434 :

it's not a man's world anymore.

Benji C :

a league of their own

Sam :

I was a girl who played basebell growing up. A League of Their Own seemed like paradise. I bawled when Maybelle was wheeled out. But what I love most is the team names! Dorothy Height is my favorite Civil and Human Rights activist. So of course I had to watch opening day with a copy of her memoir, Open Wide the Gates of Heaven. I can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Scott Bolton643 :

Congratulations ladies! We're all rooting for you! Not gonna talk about The National Anthem

Zero Waste Strategies LLC :

Mo-neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeè!!!!

just_tim75 :

They didn’t make it easy to find the games. Hopefully, future games are more accessible.

Brooke Hines :

I’m emotional

Kim’s Kart :

Woohoooo!!! I’m so Proud of you all! 💙

I mean, it's pretty crazy to not have a women's professional baseball team. I would definitely enjoy that. It doesn't make no sense if they have women's softball and women's basketball and all types of the women's sports.Why not this

Fairy Prairie Farm :

Generations of us don’t have to imagine having a dream that wasn’t possible while we were young enough could play. I’m so thrilled for these ladies.

Sebastian.N :

As a man I am happy that they finally brought the league back. I have seen college softball games and those games were crazy entertaining. I hope this league will continue with no problems and I hope thus league will thrive.

sav :

I live in Springfield IL and this is the first I’m hearing of this :( our town didn’t make this a big deal at ALL
