(Hitting 95 mph isn’t the same skill as teaching someone else to)

Heh, George Costanza had it all figured out so long ago

"the 34-year-old has smashed several barriers en route to this title."

She hasn't "smashed" anything, she got this position based on political correctness. I'm sure she is capable on the mechanics of the game, anyone can study that, but I think she will lack the competitive nature men have and the ability to develop ballplayers. I played A ball and I had incredible respect for my manager, he had played where I wanted to go, the majors. He actually went on the be a GM. I can't imagine having a woman running the team, But times change, who knows

“Balkovec was introduced Wednesday as manager of the New York Yankees’ low-A affiliate in the Florida State League. In taking over the Tampa Tarpons, Balkovec will become the first female manager in the history of affiliated baseball”

Figures that they’d get a woman to take over a team with the name “Tampons”.

I would think the way that this would work is that you have somebody like Joe Torre, maybe he has a daughter and she's a bench coach so she's on the team. But she's a tomboy and all the guys respect her and she knows how to coach.

It's no difference than what we see with a football coach and his son. Mike Shanahan and Kyle Shanahan, that's just one example.

The scenario that I mentioned, I can see it happen one day. I think that would be the exception, rather than the rule, though.
