That's fascinating. When I was 8, I played in the "boys" Little League, which was by then officially for boys or girls. I had no idea the change had happened relatively few years earlier. There was softball at the time too, but I thought softball was dumb and I didn't want to play it. My dad says he warned me about the boys being mean to me because I was a girl, but I honestly don't remember his warnings, and no one ever was, at any rate. I was a terrible player, but no worse than the worst boys on the team at least.
