The next batter, Cindy Jenkins...

chimanbj · 01-27-2006, 02:18 PM

Totally fictional, but of course, very real. In the spirit of creating a global game, full of possibilities, shouldn't the game support women's baseball? Either in a separate league (think A League of Their Own) or to ultimately integrate with the boys of the big leagues. I know you can do this on your own, but the trick is, when you play the games, and read the scouting reports, they are all geared toward men (he, him, his, etc.).

Has any thought been given to putting this in the game at all?

I don't know. I'd prefer to see gender neutral terminology myself.

It comes to the plate, and it is hitting .366 so far this season...

This game should support men, women, and androgyny leages.

We had a woman pop up in the WLB.

Plurals, too, for Siamese twins.

I don't have a problem with hos invading the game, as long is it's an option and not just a feature.

The Funk · 01-28-2006, 07:50 AM

Does the game come with hos?

Astros02 · 01-28-2006, 08:09 AM

You can wear hose while playing the game.

My favorite was the dolphin GM.

I think the cat in G&GH's avatar could be a good GM.

He sure wasn't any worse than most of the pre-sabermetrics MLB GM's.

It has been at the helm of the Reds for the last several years.

I'll give him some catnip and tell him to trade Adam Dunn.

Nah...the cat would have done a better job.

While I completely disagree with the originator of this thread, I would have no problem with having women in the game as long as it was an option.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I NEVER want to see a woman in my fictional baseball universe. And yes, I do have a daughter and would encourage her every step of the way if she were talented enough and wanted to pursue a major league baseball career or play in a professional woman's league. But, in my game, my created universe, having a woman player would absolutely kill the game for me.
