Professional women's sports are having a banner year in 2024. The new pro women's hockey league welcomed record-breaking numbers in January; the WNBA has produced bona fide basketball stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese; and now, just last month, news broke that a Women's Pro Baseball League will launch in 2026—and it's being spearheaded by two Jewish industry vets. One is Justine Siegal, who has racked up a Wikipedia page full of "firsts", most prominently as the first female coach hired by an MLB team. She's also coached Israel's national baseball team and founded Baseball For All, an organization that provides opportunities for girls to get involved playing baseball. Her co-founder of the WPBL is Keith Stein, the Canadian owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball club, which plays in Christie Pits. But how exactly does one start a new league from scratch? How will they find the players—and inspire young girls to take up baseball instead of softball? Justine Siegal joins the Menschwarmers for a candid conversation about her goals and challenges in starting the WPBL and shares a bit about what her life was like growing up as a Jewish girl—often mistaken for a boy. And before that interview, the hosts chat about the soccer riots that erupted in Amsterdam last week. Was it a pogrom, simple soccer hooliganism, or something in between?

Ashley Kelly is the real hero of the Shohei Ohtani deal but we break it down anyway because it lets Patti do math and reference the Disney Prince, Betts, Freeman, and Yamamoto, but not the dog. Pottymouth leans into the CWS history with Cuban player and selects Oscar Colás Leon, while Patti picks brand new teammate and exceptional dad, veteran catcher Max Stassi. Our STL bfs include Pottymouth's choice of Masyn Blaze Winn for all the mom reasons, and Patti goes for her second Nolan of the season, Nolan Gorman. Justine Siegal takes Baseball for All on the road, with tournaments in Costa Rica, Hawaii, and the Leighton Accardo Invitational with the Arizona Peaches. We encourage you to support her great work providing opportunities for girls to play baseball. Catch up on the LVBP Pepsi Jonrón Derby where you'll see lots of familiar bats. Our Police Blotter visits the LA County DA's office, and touches on the Tampa Bay Hostages.

Blake Murphy opens the show with a quick recap of the Toronto Blue Jays' weekend series ‘dub' in Cincinnati. The Athletic's Kaitlyn McGrath then shares some insight into the team's promising start to their road trip and the significance of Bo Bichette's return, before contemplating whether there's a comprehensive narrative behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s seemingly problematic middle finger. Shortly thereafter, Mike Petriello of MLB.com takes us through his latest piece exploring 11 theories on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s season, and delves into the downturn of the Yankees juxtaposed with the ascent of the Dodgers (28:46). On the back nine of the program, Blake opens up the JTP Mailbag to answer your questions (51:33)! We wrap up with Dr. Justine Siegal, the visionary behind "Baseball For All", an organization dedicated to promoting girls' participation in baseball. Together, they delve into Dr. Siegal's personal odyssey within the sport, the strides women are making across different tiers within Major League Baseball, and her contributions as a baseball coordinator within the realms of film and television (01:15:41). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
Patti and Pottymouth celebrate our 300th episode with a peanut gallery of friends of the pod. Manny celebrated the occasion with his 300th homer. And we hope you celebrate with a donation to Proud to Be in Baseball. Pottymouth has a whole old out, new in, new out, old in boyfriend situation with Oswald Peraza and Rodolfo Castro. Chas McCormick's bat is ridiculously hot and his recent play in Seattle is ridiculously suspicious. Bobby Witt Jr and Drew Waters have magic in a blue bottle. Josh and Bo make some brotherly history. Pottymouth touts the appearance of vegan treats at ballparks and Patti tries to twist it into a whole air quote-y monopoly situation. We made some good calls about the Derby, where Adley made a switch-hitting splash as well as a red carpet splash with a daring suit and lovely mom and sister. 600 girls attend Baseball for All Nationals, and the US Women's National team announces their roster and the schedule for qualifying rounds. LSU makes history in this year's draft by sending the #1 pick to the Pirates and #2 to the Nationals. MLB expands its international tour for next season to include games in the DR, South Korea, Mexico CIty, and London.We say, “We are a cheap date,” “Did you say a *risky* or a *whiskey* decision?” and “My favorite furniture and my favorite author are both Swedish.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

When Jason Klein's daughter approached him in 2018 about whether she (or any girl) could play baseball in the boys league, he decided to take it to Twitter in hopes that his followers would show up with a few extra words of encouragement. Little did he know, the tweet would spark over 100,000 responses, including responses from the MLB, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, Play Ball, Little League International, Baseball For All, Jessica Mendoza, Mo'ne Davis, and parents across the nation. Shortly thereafter, the Washington Post published a feature story on Jason and his daughter Ava, and the encouragement they received. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/03/03/a-young-girl-worried-baseball-was-only-for-boys-her-father-asked-twitter-for-help/ The overwhelming amount of responses Jason received from parents in similar situations left him wondering how many other little girls out there have had similar concerns, but didn't have the support to overcome society's stigmas. Jason decided to write a book to inspire young female ballplayers and in 2023, he released the book Yes Pepper, Girls Play Baseball, Too!
With Mike sidelined this week, please enjoy this classic episode of TWIB History. From its founding in 1939 through 1973, Little League Baseball refused to let girls play, and was deeply and intransigently committed to that position until a New Jersey court decision forced them to relent only 46 years ago this week. Mike and Bill look back on the history of women and girls playing baseball prior to that decision and the suit that forced Little League Baseball to welcome girls. They are also joined by Dr. Justine Siegal (@justinebaseball) of Baseball For All to discuss her journey as a player, coach, and advocate for girls to have access to the game. Plus, happy birthday to Dwight Evans and Edgardo Alfonzo.
On this episode, Mark Simon interviews Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan, women's baseball pioneer Dr. Justine Siegal, and talks to SIS VP of Baseball Bobby Scales.Steven (0:53) talked about some of the top plays he's made in left field on his way to leading the Guardians in Defensive Runs Saved. And he explained the prep that goes into playing in the outfields in Colorado, Cleveland, Boston, and Baltimore.Justine (12:20) is the founder of Baseball For All, a women's baseball advocacy group, and was the consultant on Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own show debuting on Friday. She talked about the work her organization is doing as well as everything that goes into teaching actresses to play baseball.Bobby (22:10) reacted to both interviews, giving his perspective on Steven Kwan's play so far. He also shared a story about an outfield adventure at Wrigley Field and gave us opinion on what happened at the end of A League Of Their Own, the movie.Thanks as always for listening.

There should be a new NCiB drinking game for the number of times we say “league-imposed lock-out” in this episode. This week's CBA negotiation update requires Patti to add yet another layer of complication to Rule 5 Draft, talk about ghost wins (they are a thing!), note that the player's union is taking steps to protect stadium workers but as yet the League is all talk, and remind dear listeners that spring training and the regular season could have started on time, while negotiations are in progress, except for the, say it with us, “league-imposed lock-out.”Pottymouth chooses Martín “Machete” Maldonado, and Patti highlights Kyle “Maybe MVP” Tucker as Astros boyfriends. For the Dodgers, both of us lean into the good guy and excellent significant other aspect of boyfriend selection with Pottymouth going with Chris Taylor and Patti selecting Matt Beaty. Our women in baseball segment notes Baseball For All's upcoming 1st Women's College Club Baseball Championship tournament, Mexico's moves to start a league, and the Mets hire of Elizabeth Benn to direct Major League Operations. We crosstrain with women's soccer to say it's about damn time equal pay happenns, and with women's basketball to share our concern and support for Brittney Griner, currently detained in Russia.We say “our pal Bernie Sanders” and “The owners should suck it the hell up and write big honking checks.”Get boosted, fight the man, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Welcome back to All Ears! This time we are joined by baseball trailblazer Justine Siegal as she talks about her story of coming into baseball, what it took for her to break down the barriers of gender in baseball, her foundation, and more! About Justine Siegal - When she was 13, Justine's coach told her that girls are only supposed to play softball - not baseball. At that moment, she vowed she'd never quit. At the age of 16, she set her sights on becoming a college baseball coach. Despite being ridiculed, laughed at, and told no man would ever listen to a woman on the baseball field, she worked toward her goal, growing even more determined to realize her dream. After earning her Ph.D. in Sport Psychology from Springfield College, Justine became the first woman to coach for a Major League Baseball Organization (Oakland Athletics, 2015) and to throw batting practice to an MLB team during Spring Training (Cleveland Indians, 2011). In 2016, she served as Mental Performance Coach for Team Israel at the MLB World Baseball Classic Qualifier. She served as a guest pro baseball coach in Japan and Mexico (2019). Justine is currently the Baseball Coordinator for the tv show, A League of Their Own. Justine is giving back to the next generation with Baseball For All, a nonprofit she founded to provide opportunities for girls to play, coach, and lead in baseball. She is an inductee of the National Women's Sports Museum and has been named as an Everyday Hero by espnW. USA Baseball nominated her as an IOC Woman of the Year. Her A's jersey is in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and her baseball card is in Topps' 2020 Allen & Ginter collection. Justine is the proud mother of a fiercely independent and joyful 23-year old.

(Note to our regular listeners - this special interview with the fabulous 14-year-old Costa Rican baseball / baseball player Francela Verdura is in Spanish. If you understand Spanish - enjoy! If you don't, we recommend giving it a listen to see what you can grasp. Francela came to the US and played in the Baseball for All tournament while developing her English skills, so dear listeners, you now have the opportunity to develop your Spanish skills through listening to a “charla” about baseball.)¡Bienvenidos a nuestro primer episodio de No Crying in Baseball completamente en español! Pottymouth tuvo la fortuna de entrevistar a Francela Verdura, una pelotera jóven de Costa Rica quien vino recientemente al torneo de Baseball for All (Béisbol para todos) en Maryland. Francela nos cuenta su experiencia con el béisbol en Costa Rica y cómo se involucró en un deporte, que no es tan conocido allá. Ella es una beisbolera con mucho talento y se esfuerza constantemente en cada entrenamiento para mejorar. Nos habla también de la diferencia entre el béisbol y el softball, su experiencia con los dos, y el panorama de las chicas costarricenses que quieren jugar a la pelota. Además, nos explica su rutina, describe los equipos con los que ha jugado y cómo vino a Estados Unidos para jugar en un torneo de mujeres jóvenes. Al fin, hablamos de sus metas y sus planes del futuro, tanto en el béisbol como en la vida.¡Muchísimas gracias a Francela, a su familia, a la familia Cherry en Washington DC por habernosla presentado, y lo más importante, a Baseball for All por todo lo que hacen para promover el béisbol femenino!Nos puedes encontrar en Twitter @ncibpodcast,, en Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball y en el internet a nocryinginbball.com.

Surprising no one, Patti and the Pottymouth celebrate their 200th episode with a rant. Turns out we have some opinions and suggestions regarding the Field of Dreams game: How to actually include Iowans in baseball, better uses for all that cash, meaningful alternative sites (including supporting the proposed International Women's Baseball Center Museum and Activity Center at the home of the Rockford Peaches), and a nod to FiveThirtyEights' take on a modern FoD lineup.We celebrate Tyler Gilbert's first-start no-no, the triumphant return of Chris Sale and his weird shirt, and Joey Votto Still Banging. The Police Blotter finds minor leagues playing in air unhealthy to breathe, MLB considering deals with Barstool Sports despite their documented misogyny and racism, and a WashPost report that again begs the question, what did the Dodgers know before signing Trevor Bauer?Pottymouth introduces you to Francela Verdura, a 14 year old girl from Costa Rica who played in the recent Baseball for All Nationals. Watch for their full interview, in Spanish, later this week. Last weekend's Women's College Invitational was a step to developing women's club baseball on the way to making women's baseball an NCAA sanctioned sport.We say Pete Rose (more than once!), climate change, and the Czech Republic.Get vaxxed, fight the man, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

The Cleveland Baseball Team officially becomes the Guardians, which requires footnotes (but we've got'em). It's always Women in Baseball Week for NCiB, but this week it is official for the rest of the world. We re-cap the wildly successful Baseball for All Nationals and preview some steps to making college baseball more possible for women. We rant a little about the criticisms of the groundbreaking all-woman broadcast team that called an Os/Rays game last week, and give Patti's former BF Anthony Santander some props for knowing what's up. Pottymouth presents the obligatory Kiké Hernandez Appreciation Segment, and Jon Lester's 2 run homer gives us an opportunity to name check Big Sexy.We give explaining the Oakland A's current status re the Port and the Strip our best shot. Our proposed scenario is drop an expansion team into Vegas because how cool would that be, and figure out how to keep the A's where they belong. Montgomery, AL pickles their AA Biscuits to become Montgomery Kimchee for a day, to honor Korean culture. The CPBL is back, but Mitch Lively and the All Star Game are not, so our excitement is tempered. Olympic Baseball is about to start, but the Hobbit House may cramp Pottymouth's ability to watch. But she'll be in a frickin' HOBBIT HOUSE. In our Police Blotter, CLE reliever Nick Wittgren, his wife, and children are all targets of online death threats because of a “bad day at work” and this needs to stop. Starlin Castro's administrative leave and domestic abuse investigation continue on, and the hearing over Trevor Bauer's restraining order gets kicked down the road. Did we need to know the color of his suit or that the Dodgers' may enjoy some salary relief if he is suspended? Not so much. We do want to know what women were consulted as part of his vetting process. Hey, the NFL is going to fine unvaccinated players almost $15K if they violate COVID protocol.

In this Davey Martinez appreciation episode, Patti and special guest co-host Junior Pottymouth catch you up on the aftermath of the shooting outside Nats Park. Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis, Jr., and other Padres were heroic in their assistance getting fans to safety, while in the home clubhouse Nats manager Martinez assured security guards that the fans taking shelter belonged there because “our fans are our family.” The incident highlighted the glaring gap in ballpark security -- there's an evacuation plan, but no lockdown/shelter in place plan. Meanwhile, three men were charged with Federal firearms crimes stemming from the discovery by housekeeping staff of a cache of weapons in a hotel close to Coors Field.Junior Pottymouth took on the role of Youth Correspondent to identify who the heck those kids were in the ASG celebrity softball game (has TikTok ever been brought up on the show before?), not to mention explaining NFTs to Patti who still doesn't believe they are a real thing even though Trey Mancini used them as a fundraiser for his foundation around his Home Run Derby appearance. Shohei Ohtani is a friend to labor as he donated his Derby winnings to Angels staffers. Matt Olson used Twitter to find the Derby fan who took a tumble trying to catch one of his homers and rewarded his effort with a bat and ball. The big donation announced during All Star Week was MLB pledging up to $150million to the Player's Alliance over ten years. Immediately post ASG, Patti's BF Jake Cronenworth hits for the cycle, and former BF Joc Pederson heads to Atlanta.In other police blotter news, Nats infielder Starlin Castro is put on administrative leave while under investigation for domestic abuse, about which Davey Martinez said, in no uncertain terms, will NOT be tolerated. Contrast this with Dave Roberts' weak response to the Bauer investigation. In our COVID report, we cross-train with the Olympics, where athletes have tested positive in the Village as well as among the South African soccer contingent. Closer to home, six Yankees, including Aaron Judge who gallantly escorted Billye Aaron to the field during the ceremony honoring her late husband Hank, tested positive for COVID-19. Mrs. Aaron, thankfully, appears COVID-free. Four Rockies also went on the COVID IL post ASG. Good news for the Blue Jays -- Canada welcomes them back to the Rogers Centre at the end of the month, under strict protocols. Good luck to the 500 girls competing this week in the Baseball For All National Tournament, including our friends at DC Girls Baseball, and the 11 year old at the Thunderbolts game.Wash your hands, wear your masks, watch your distance, get your vaccine as soon as you can, and fight the man.

Welcome to Amazin' Avenue in Conversation, a podcast from Amazin' Avenue where we invite interesting people on the show to talk about themselves, the Mets, and more.

Ava Benach, through DC Girls Baseball, is building a community of leaders and teaching life skills while giving girls who want to play baseball every opportunity to do so. Through Ava, we meet four tenacious, focused, fearless young ballplayers who change the world every day by playing on their high school teams despite being told they should be playing softball instead, working twice as hard to play a game they love, and traveling hundreds of miles if that’s what it takes to find their team. Hear from Piper "Life is way too short to not play baseball when you want to" Cherry, Maggie “Baseball is what I do” Heaphy, Tess “Don't listen to other people saying not to” Usher, and Rebekah "I saved up all my rebellion and used it to play baseball" Camp. They will inspire you to donate to DCGB to help remove financial barriers for girls who want to play baseball, or find a girls’ team near you and show them your support. Then put on your DCGB gear and come on out to Baseball for All Nationals in Aberdeen, MD July 18-22 to watch history happen.Wash your hands, wear your masks, watch your distance, get your vaccine as soon as you can, and fight the man.

Ms. Justine Siegal, the founder of Baseball for all, speaks about creating a role for women and girls in baseball. She shares her experiences with individuals such as Mike Veeck, Joe Maddon, and Billy Beane.“When she was 13, Justine’s coach told her that girls were only supposed to play softball—not baseball. At that moment, she vowed she’d never quit. At 16, despite being ridiculed, laughed at, and told no man would ever listen to a woman on the baseball field, she worked toward her goal of becoming a college baseball coach.To give her an edge in an otherwise male-dominated profession, Justine earned her PhD in Sports Psychology while working as an Assistant Baseball Coach for Springfield College. She went on to be the first woman to coach for a professional men’s baseball team (Brockton Rox, 2009), the first woman to throw batting practice to a Major League Baseball team during Spring Training (Cleveland Indians, 2011)—and the first woman to ever coach for a MLB organization (Oakland Athletics, 2015). Since then, her jersey has been hung in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and she has gone on to work with baseball teams around the world, including Team Israel at the MLB World Baseball Classic Qualifier, and teams in Japan and Mexico as a guest coach.Now, Justine is giving back to the next generation with Baseball For All, a nonprofit she founded to provide opportunities for girls to play, coach, and lead in baseball. “Too many girls are still told they can’t play baseball. I want girls to know they can follow their passions and that they have no limits—that their dreams matter” (Baseballforall.com).Hosts: Tyler Buchholz and Colin KirkBaseball for AllBob Feller Act of Valor Award FoundationSupport the show (https://customcoinholders.com/product/walk-of-heroes/)

The first woman to coach for a Major League Baseball organization coaching for the A’s fall instructional league in 2015 and the first woman to throw batting practice for an MLB organization in 2011 when she threw for Cleveland and the founder of Baseball For All, Justine Siegal discusses her journey in baseball and how the sport has shaped her entire life.
Come take a mystical voyage with us back to Monday night. To a time when the result of the World Series was still up in the air and no MLB players had tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the middle of the game and then game back onto the field at the end and took their mask off and kissed their wife on the face and breathed all over cancer survivor Dave Roberts. A simpler time :) We engage in our usual Monday night tradition of discussing the life and career of Vida Blue at some length. If you're so inclined, you may be interested to see this portrait of him adorning the cover of Time Magazine's August 28, 1971 issue. You may also wish to ogle at the accumulated career statistics of Keith Hernandez's mustache. Perhaps you might even enjoy listening to to the prog rock/electronica/funk band Vida Blue's rendition of Most Events Aren't Planned. If you are uninterested in those things, perhaps you'd like to instead donate to Baseball For All. You can also listen to our theme music: Littlest League Possible by Guided By Voices. Or maybe appreciate the other work of our the author of our cover art Shelby Criswell. Or maybe send us a nice email at tatertotspod@gmail.com .

I am honoured to be joined by Justine Siegal in this episode. Justine was the first woman ever to coach professional baseball. Her experiences in the pro leagues motivated her to change the landscape of gender inequality in baseball. She has a PhD in Sport Psychology and is founder of Baseball For All, which is a national non-profit organisation empowering girls to coach, play and lead. We speak about Justine's experiences growing up playing a very male dominated sport and how they shaped her to become the coach she is today.

From its founding in 1939 through 1973, Little League Baseball refused to let girls play, and was deeply and intransigently committed to that position until a New Jersey court decision forced them to relent only 46 years ago this week. Mike and Bill look back on the history of women and girls playing baseball prior to that decision and the suit that forced Little League Baseball to welcome girls. They are also joined by Dr. Justine Siegal (@justinebaseball) of Baseball For All to discuss her journey as a player, coach, and advocate for girls to have access to the game. Plus, happy birthday to Dwight Evans and Edgardo Alfonzo.
We’re back after a life hiatus. Luckily women’s baseball didn’t take a hiatus, with a new European tournament and the fifth year of Baseball For All (go DC Force). If you missed Women in Baseball Week, Baseball Prospectus has a tag for that. Oh yeah, the Nats made some trade moves and our bench is the danciest, colored-glasses wearing-est, happiest place to be. Resting Pitchface still wants more pet trade data. We’ve identified a gap in the market. Episode 53: Lefty Relievers Below Replacement

We're with a group of women who have spent the last there weeks riding the grueling Tour de France course one day in advance of the men. We join the Des Elles au Velo, as they ride for the last stage in the hope that next year there might be an official, complete and competitive Tour de France for women. Getting Hy at the Palace Hy Money has had a long and distinguished career as a sports photographer, finding fame in particular by capturing the images of her beloved football team Crystal Palace. However she has had to fight through the most extraordinary attitudes and discrimination to get to the top. That's reflected in some of the language you are about to hear. Caroline Barker has been to visit her to find out about her struggles and to look at some of the images she has created over the years. Justine Siegal: Baseball For All Challenging attitudes in traditionally male dominated sport is a long and difficult struggle, and even when you've made it, the challenge never ends. There are few, if any, better qualified baseball coaches than Justine Siegel. Yet despite that, the first female coach to be employed by a Major League team still finds opportunities few and far between. She's been telling us the story behind her pioneering career and why she still feels held back from achieving all her goals and her "Baseball For All" foundation, encouraging young women to play the game. The Women Weightlifters of Egypt Egypt has won more Olympic medals in weightlifting than in any other sport. While traditionally seen as a ‘male sport’, Sara Ahmed won bronze at the Rio Games in 2016 and in doing so has inspired a new generation of female athletes to take to the mat. Verity Ratcliffe went to Alexandria to meet some of Egypt’s women weightlifters. Photo: Some of those taking part in the Des Elles au Velo Credit: Mickael Gagne

Baseball For All's Founder and Executive Director, Justine Siegal knows that dreams can come true. At 13, her coach told her that he didn't want her on his team and that girls shouldn't play baseball. With great determination and a love for the game, Siegal continued playing baseball through high school, men's summer leagues, and women's International play. In 2011, she made baseball history when she became the first woman to throw batting practice to MLB teams (Indians, A's, Rays, cardinals, Astros, and Mets). Justine is also the first female base coach in men's professional baseball (Brockton Rox, 2009).
