[inaudible] National Tournament for girls is long long over due. There is nothing as empowering feeling you are no longer alone. I never see girls play because there no girls in texas. I have never seen so many girls playing baus ball ever. All the kids from 813 is awesome because they all believe inl themselves and each other and their dreams. [inaudible] this is not a new phenomenon. Girls and women have played base ball since there beginning of base ball. When we played ball we did want know what we were doing, we were just happy to be on the dimands getting the opportunity to play. To this day every time i come out and watch these girls play ball and live my life through them and every time they make a error and feel for them because i did the same thing. I saw a girl make a play in the out field that would make the top 10 in espn. They are phenomenal. [inaudible] because you are a girl and not because of your talent, you start to internalize that and when i played i tend to play with the weight of the world. [inaudible] give you a drive and make you work harder because you want to show you can play base ball [inaudible] sometimes i get told i cant play baus ball but that makes you want to do more and be better than all the boys. Once a team [inaudible] kept calling me girly bear and after that i struck out all 13 of their batters [inaudible] they say like, you [inaudible] they say girls cant play base ball it doesnt bother me. If they say girls cant play, then why am i playing base ball . Im a big fan of coed base ball. I think when girls play with boys [inaudible] however i think well have more girls playing bausball. [inaudible] not every girl wants to play with the boys. They are disgusting. It is pretty fun because when we beat them the boys are like, man and the girls are really happy and we prove girm girls can be better than boys. Girls are much better than boys. We hit faster [inaudible] and heard the boys say there is a girl on that time. Darn right. And then i hit a home run and they are like, wow r girls can do that. It wasnt fun for us then they started crying [inaudible] these girls are good. They have heart and they have the skills and they have all the potential in the world. [inaudible] we are going to do 3 timeathize work the boys do just to prove we can play with them and i believe girls can make it to the [inaudible] they just keep working harder. This is my [inaudible] i want to make it to the mlb even if it isnt me i just want somebody to do that.
