Mo'ne Davis: Game Changer

The 2014 Little League World Series is over, but something very special took place during the course of the tournament.  Mo'ne Davis made headlines for her play in the series, she became the first female to throw a complete game shut out in the Little League World Series on August 15th.  Her shutout gained national attention, as it should have because now girls can look up to her and hopefully more of them will get involved in baseball.

There have been gender roles in place since the beginning of time, Mo'ne is another role breaker, and yes a game changer.  When most people hear baseball they think of males playing the sport, and when they hear softball they think of females playing that sport.  I find that funny because I constantly see co-ed softball teams all over the place, especially for local leagues that are for fun.

Mo'ne can now help bridge the gap and perhaps more females will want to play baseball at all levels, and next year we could see even more more females in the Little League World Series.

I am glad that Mo'ne gained attention, and I think a lot of good has come from it, and more will over time.

Mo'ne is special, she is now that role model for girls to look up to and say "hey, I can play baseball too!"

In 2015 we will see what happens!
