- Comment: Can I drop "in professional baseball" or does the hook need that?
5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 04:06, 3 May 2022 (UTC).
Its just expanded enough and the article and hook are referenced. The hook is a bit tricky to fathom if you are not a baseball fan e.g. not American. I think the phrase "in a gender-blind team" would get more hits. Sadly no pic athough I have tried to beg one on Flickr (but don't hold your breath). It's neutral and its good to go, but do consider the hook. Surely its the first in co-ed professional baseball ... ever! and she was one of the first ever women players. Your choice.

- Victuallers, I'm happy to change the hook, but I wasn't quite sure what a better hook would be. First woman to play in the Atlantic League is meh, she already played for Sonoma in 2016... other women have played more recently than the AAPGL and Negro Leagues, like Ila Borders. I'm open to other suggestions and will give it some thought myself. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:33, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'll let you decide - in my non-baseball world ... I was surprised that the American national sport is co-ed (Well done!!)... in the UK there is horse-riding and .... horse-riding. I suspect the average American and the average Wikipedia reader may have differing views on what is new to them. Ayway I'm happy if you decide to make no changes as well.

- Victuallers, she just pitched today, and got a former major leaguer out.[2] Does that make sense to a layperson? Is that interesting enough?
