D. It won't happen in our lifetimes.
Please state your reasoning.
sarrafz: I would imagine in baseball, it would have to be a relief pitcher. If you think about it, shortstop isn't even remotely a possibility. You gotta be lightning quick (by everyday people standards) to be a shortstop. Derek Jeter, who at one time was considered the worst defensive SS in the league, is still quicker than anyone in the WNBA or the US women's national soccer team, and they are some of the best female athletes in the world. And we haven't even gotten to hitting, throwing, fielding bounces or catching popups yet. But when it comes to throwing knuckleballs, a more skillful and less physical achievement, I think some woman can do it in the next few decades.
