"Damn the Israel baseball talks! Full speed ahead!" Upstart Israel Professional Baseball League announces tryouts-- and invites WOMEN!

While we await word on what the big Israel baseball machers came up with in their closed-door meeting in New York City, The Israel Professional Baseball League, the rival Miami-based group that rose up in November, amid the turmoil of the Israel Baseball League's postseason debt, lawsuit and resignation era, has gone online to announce tryouts for its own upcoming season in the Summer of 2008.


Two items of note:

1) They're charging players to try out. (Twenty-five dollars a head).

and

2) They're inviting women baseball players to try out ($12.50 a-- ) -- which could mean that the lawyers and attorney players behind the league are skirting anti-discrimination laws.

Or they're Reform.
