How are players reacting to Ria Cortesio, professional baseball's only female umpire?

A rookie fresh from the minors is about to change the face of baseball: A female umpire is set to work a major league exhibition game for the first time in almost 20 years.

    Great. Now you're trying to ruin baseball. What's next, voting rights? image

    I'm sure there's a girl bending over to watch a ball joke in here somewhere.

    I think back in the late 80's or early 90's, there was a female ump who worked a couple of Spring Training games.

    Good for her image

    Edited to add:

    I was close image



    << <i>Pam Postema was the last woman ump to call big league exhibitions, back in 1989 -- she was in spring training for two years before getting released. >>
