New York City Mayor Eric Adams, exuberant over the end of the 99-day lockout, said that not only will it be great to see the “boys of summer” again, but he also hopes next year to see the “boys and girls of summer” playing Major League Baseball.
“I’m so glad that the boys of summer are coming back,” Adams told reporters on Friday. “I hope in the next year we start seeing the boys and the girls of summer. It’s time to allow women to play professional baseball as well.”
As the New York Post reports:
While baseball has no ban on women playing, no females have ever played in the major leagues. In 2019 Melissa Mayeux, a shortstop from France who played softball for the University of Louisiana, became the first woman added to Major League Baseball’s international registration list, thus making her able to be signed to MLB.
The comment seemingly came out of nowhere, as the press conference had nothing to do with women playing in Major League Baseball. However, the randomness of the comment is only rivaled by its lunacy of it. There isn’t a surplus of women capable of playing at the major league level, and no one (other than liberal politicians pandering to their loony liberal bases) is clamoring to see women play in MLB.
The American sports fan tired long ago of seeing their favorite games become a showcase for whacky leftists and their idiotic ideas.

What an a**. Let them start AND FINANCE their own league
I wasn’t aware that women were barred from playing MLB. Are they?
Looking forward to women sliding headfirst into second. At least if the uniform is revealing enough.
No, they aren’t barred by rules. They are barred by nature.
First you allow ... then they require.
I stopped watching Major League Baseball in the 80s ,LOL
I have a bat and a couple of balls they can play with.
It’s time for Adams to play on the looney bin’s shuffle board team. He’s friggin’ nutz.
If a woman can bat .250 or more consistently against major league pitching, competently handle a field position or throw a variety of pitches from the mound that make it over the plate most of time at 90 mph or more, you can bet that any MLB team will sign her up.
It utter nonsense to imply that women are banned from Major League Baseball.
Bye bye MLB. Nobody’s going to watch - especially pay to watch - a bunch of dykes running around who play like kindergarteners.
Dykeball.
Fugeddabouddit.
No such rule. Unclear what the Mayor was thinking. Maybe an affirmative action program to get some women into the game?
When I was a kid, women had better things to do that play little boys’ games with a bat and a ball. Now that they all want to be men, the whole damn world is screwed up.
No. Women also aren’t barred from playing in either the NFL or WNBA. That’s what makes the complaints about women in the NBA not earning as much as NBA players so ridiculous. They are perfectly free to compete for roster spots in the NBA and earn more money already if they are good enough.
I’d like to see men trying to play in women’s softball leagues. Why not?
So, MLB wants to emulate the success of the WNBA. I’ll say this, softball at the collegiate level is a lot better than women’s basketball. Probably not really a market for it, but I’m sure they will try. Why not? Our culture is trying to emulate all of those successful matriarchal cultures throughout history.
Good…finish killing all sports…

Eric Adams sure passed his sell-by date in a hurry. For a short while, the ex-cop held some promise as perhaps the least crazy loon in the democrat field. He won and then medaled in the disillusionment Olympics. But I never imagined he was just flat out stupid. Until now.
Wow, what a groundbreaking idea.
Who’ da thought nucking futs could be so damn boring.
