Ground rules
* Comments are welcomed! Sexist (and racist, and homophobic, and….) comments will be deleted faster than a Verlander four-seamer. So will spam, advertisements that aren’t germane to the site, unintelligible nonsense, personal attacks, and general jerkiness.
* If you’d like to write a guest post, let’s talk! Women and men alike are warmly invited to contribute items of interest, as long as they’re in keeping with the spirit of the blog. E-mail me at ablogoftheirown@gmail.com with your ideas.
* One of my complaints about most baseball resources aimed at women is that they tend to assume little or no knowledge of the game. This is a site for women who know their way around the diamond. I’m not planning to explain basic rules, terminology, or baseball history on this site—but that doesn’t mean I don’t welcome fans who are still getting up to speed! Check these links if you’re interested in accelerating your baseball education:
- A very basic glossary of baseball terms…
- The official baseball rulebook (a hefty PDF file)…
- A quick introduction to the fundamentals of baseball strategy…
- And a rather impressive dictionary of baseball slang!
