Girls Playing Hard Ball
Interesting NYTimes story on girls who play high school baseball.
My daughter, the 11-year-old All-Star Little League pitcher and shortstop, has always said she wants to play upper school ball. Now, it turns out there will be a conflict with soccer and she's a wonderful soccer player. but this story shows she wouldn't be alone. It's interesting the writer focused on female pitchers.

In my Little League coaching experience, girls do very well as pitchers because they have great balance and body control and they're just smarter than the boys. Ann Burns pitched shutout innings in a couple of very competitive AAU games this fall because she keeps the ball down with good velocity and has a befuddling changeup the boys can't handle.
