Bio
Yes, that's me, ringing up a little mojo for my Fightin' Phils during the 2008 World Series. I grew up, in 1950s and 60s suburbia, with the heart of a frontierswoman. I grew up a Catholic with the heart of a seeker of the Divine Feminine. I grew up a girl and a woman, when being either "just wasn't good enough," with the heart of a warrior priestess of a warrior goddess. My favorite television shows are (from the mid 90s) Profiler, (from the early 21st Century) Witchblade, and (now) Saving Grace, so you know where my mind still is. I was a journalist before big advertising bullies started owning the media and quit (after a long, loud battle) when I saw what they were doing. I was the oldest, and the most eccentric, of seven children in an Irish American family. I married, divorced, and now have a significant other. I am a "budding" herbalist, a mother of four avians (My poor Keenan died recently.), a guerilla gardener, an adjunct professor of pre-composition college writing, a poet, a fiction writer, a creative non-fiction writer, a feature writer, and now a player and a blogger of women's baseball.

2010 Women's World Cup of Baseball set in Venezuela

Rate: 0 Flag

The fourth biennial International Baseball Federation Women's World Cup of Baseball will be hosted by Venezuela from August 12 to 22. A specific venue has yet to be named.

Twelve teams are expected to be invited to the tournament. Along with the four teams considered women's baseball "powerhouses," the US, Canada, Japan, and Australia, tournament invitees could also include Pakistan, Puerto Rico, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, India, and Korea, all of which have existing, in some cases strong, national programs.

Japan hosted and won the 2008 World Cup, while Chinese Taipei was the site of the 2006 event. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada provided the venue for the inaugural IBAF World Cup in 2004, and that city will host it again in 2012.

Thank the Universal Being for Jim Glennie and his website (above). I'll keep you posted as I receive more information on this tournament.

Also, let's hope politics won't get in the way of this event, which is so important to the development of girls' and women's baseball in the US and throughout the world.
