@whatwouldDOOdo Sean, this sounds like a goodbye but it can not be. Because you have assumed a space in our hearts that will last forever. You reached out to us when you heard about our baseball team and you invited us into your life. @whatwouldDOOdo You could have come out and shook some hands, but you gave our girls an hour of your time. You asked them about their pitching and their grips. You asked them about how they play baseball. And when we asked you if a woman could play MLB, you said “why not?”

We are reminded of the saying about fighting with a pig in his slip but this sort of garbage from @nextlevelbb is pretty indicative of the barriers so many face in baseball. So many of our players and coaches have been told that they don’t belong on a baseball diamond because they are women and girls. We have come across teams, coaches, players, players dads (and moms, oh boy, the moms) who think that baseball is for straight, white Christian males.

DCGB hit @Nationals #WinterFest today and got to meet several players. For one of our players, @PalomaBenach, it was a chance to see her favorite lefty @whatwouldDOOdo again. Back in September, @whatwouldDOOdo invited #DCForce to @Nationals park after we won @baseballfor_all National Championships for the second year in a row.
