SS Jan Mallory Hopes to be the First Woman in Habla

Our world is on the fast track to gender equality, and SS Jan Mallory thinks that applies to the Habla Baseball League as well. For the first time ever, a woman has entered the amateur draft in hopes of being the first female in the league. While playing collegate softball, Jan would play in men's baseball leagues on the side and hold her own. Her outgoing and abrasive personality would often times get in the way, however, as she would continually get into fights with teammates who were not comfortable playing on the same team with a woman. "She would yell at us and tell us about her bra burning parties she was hosting at her house, as if we wanted to hear that," said teamate Joe Sexist.

"All of them boys are just jealous!" exclaimed an angry Jan referring to the men she played with. "They hate to see a woman beat them. The boys in Habla are gonna hate it to. They just aint gonna like it, but they better get used to it." It turns out, despite her mediocre success playing in recreational men's leagues, "The Jan", as she is referred to, is not that good of a player (click image for player profile). She is a poor hitter. Her 26 speed potential does not leave much room for her to even make a squad as a pinch runner. She is listed as a shortstop, but can play severall other positions. Unfortunately, she is equally bad at all posititions she plays. "The only chance she has at getting drafted," said Habla Eboard member Nick Fox, "is if a team needs a filler in LOW, which there is a pretty good chance of. If she does get taken late as a filler, she will feel like she accomplished an amazing feat, and she will have broken the gender barrier in Habla." Will a team take a chance on the young liberal female who wants to play professional baseball? We will only have to wait a couple of days to find out.
