Feminist Milestone? Girl Has Game-Winning Hit in Little League World Series
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyKatie Reyes, you play ball like a girl. By which I mean, of course, that you win games.

(Just so ya know: apparently, the Saudi team is comprised mostly of "the children of foreign petroleum workers, many from the United States.") Anyway, Durley, who's making his third appearance who wrapped up his eligibility at Williamsport in 2006, is currently 6'10", 280 pounds. And he's 14 years old. In 2005, he ...
