Female French teen makes MLB history

[dbackjon]

Shortstop Mayeux is first woman added to international registration list



At noon on Sunday afternoon, a 16-year-old French girl made Major League Baseball history.
Melissa Mayeux, a shortstop on the French U-18 junior national team, became the first known female baseball player to be added to MLB's international registration list, which means she will be eligible to be signed by a Major League club on July 2.




International prospects, Mayeux included, are typically added to the international registration list at MLB-sanctioned events after verifying their dates of birth and citizenship; while anyone can technically be added to the list, only those who have the potential to actually be signed are customarily registered.

Thanks, SH.

Well, my favorite goalie was French-Canadian. LOL....

A heterosexual man would have had the good sense to include a pic of said French female teen. It's a matter of etiquette among straight men on message boards.

The French can't even make a good baseball jersey.

Make me a Sammy, but hold the Mayeux!
