(I'm convinced that of the major North American team sports, save probably soccer/football, Baseball is in the best position to integrate in terms of gender. Even if one grants that there are gender differences in terms of size it seems to me that it has been shown often that more slightly built men can become solid major league baseball players and sometimes even big stars. Maybe the idea of an MLB female player being HR king is still a bit far-fetched, but why a woman who played baseball from a very young age can't develop into a very good contact-hitting, slick-fielding second baseman, for example, is highly questionable to me. I don't see why it couldn't happen. And I'm personally hoping it does. I realize that isn't what you are doing here, but I do appreciate that you are at least shining a little light on the possibility of women professional baseball players playing at a high level of competition. Sorry, stepping down from my soap box now.  ) |
I am die-hard liberal and one of the biggest causes I fight for is a bigger recognition of women's sports and female athletes as well the possible integration of mixed sports (along with things like archery and shooting, I think baseball is very well set for gender integration) so I appreciate your post!
You might be able to find a mod that allows for female face gens somewhere! And yeah, it is hard to find the perfect way to bring them in. Possibly, you could include the granddaughter of a fan-favourite player down the line as a trial run?
But yes! Iona is here! Farel and Nimya are very proud of their baby.
