I hope this wasn't true. This was a great day for women trying to step forward in officiating.

There's an axiom in sports officiating that the umpires who do the best job are the ones nobody notices are out there. In the case of Ila Valcarcel and me, I hope we're the exception to the rule! But thanks for the "historic" mention. And FYI, I've been working college baseball all over the country, including Division I and the Cape Cod League, for twenty years - so if you never noticed until now, I must be doing something right. Thanks for the great job you do reporting on college and minor league baseball. Perry Barber Hey there, Baseball America!

I wouldn't be surprised at the D-1 level...it's 2009. You GO GIRLS!…Even when my children were in little league we had women umpiring (even behind the plate).
