High school girl inspired by the Red Sox makes draft

An Osaka teenager just took the first step towards becoming the first female baseball player to play in an all-male league. Eri Yoshida is a pitcher known for her knuckleball. Apparently, she was inspired by a Boston Red Sox player, Tim Wakefield. At tryouts, she pitched to eight male players and didn't give up a single hit. If she passes the draft, she'll be starting on the Kobe 9 Cruise team next year.

I really hope she makes it! And if she doesn't, hopefully it's because she just wasn't good enough, and not because she was a girl.
