I like playing baseball because it's fun. But it recently dawned on me that by playing baseball with boys I can have a big impact on a lot of people, including my teammates, players on other teams, parents, and coaches. They get to see that a girl can play baseball and can be a really good player. I hope all you girls out there realize that you are impacting a lot of people in your communities too. Some of the little girls who have seen you play might be inspired to play baseball themselves....Here's an article about a cool role model we all heard about last summer, Mo'ne Davis!

You may not realize it, but being a leader is being an example to others.
