It may be because I'm heading to the Indians vs. Yankees game in a just a few minutes, but watching this video about high school freshman Gabby Sanchez, who just beat out 15 dudes for a spot on her school's baseball team (history and an injury makes her averse to softball, as she explains) has totally inspired me. I wonder if we could get Naomi on an ELLEgirl softball team? -Holly



How about an update on Gabby Sanchez. She now is 16 a senior at Rio Linda High School. She tried out 4th of July weekend for the USA Women's National Baseball Team. She made the first round of cuts. She is now off to North Caroline to compete against 30 other women for one of the 18 spots. The 18 lucky ladies that make the final cut will be off to Venezuela to play in the IBAF 2010 Women's Baseball World Cup.
