With baseball season approaching, spring training is in full force. However, the Cleveland Indians spring training camp has something, or rather someone, that no other MLB team has ever had: a female pitcher during their batting practices, Justine Siegal. Siegal also coached college baseball for three years, another first for the world of baseball. I think it is great to see a female presence in professional sports, a world driven primarily by men. But I do wonder how and why she chose to focus on baseball when she could have gotten involved in softball. But I mean, more power to her I guess. She will be throwing batting practice for Oakland Athletics later this week as well.
