Well there is the novelty factor to consider. Men and women are equal in many things but physical strength is not one of them. So when it happens it will likely be as a relief pitcher using a trick pitch like a knuckle ball. But like I said the novelty factor alone will get someone signed at some point as long as they have something going for them. Manon
Rhéaume was signed by the Tampa Bay Lightning and played in goal for them for a few games. She wasn't that good. Neither were the Lightning then but it did get people talking about them. She later played for a few IHL teams.
