Spending a Sunday morning at a baseball clinic for kids 13 and under doesn’t sound like a radical proposition. Make it a girls’ baseball clinic, however, and suddenly it sounds a bit more unusual. This past Sunday, the Lake County Captains sponsored a baseball clinic for girls ages 9-13. The clinic was run by Justine Siegal, the founder of Baseball for All and the first woman to throw batting practice to a major league team (our own Cleveland Indians) and the first woman to coach for a major league team (the Oakland A’s). I went as both a parent (I brought my ten-year-old daughter and her best friend) and as an assistant coach.
