We'll talk a little bit more about softball and baseball here in a bit. But I feel like we can't have this conversation without at least mentioning the role of media and pop culture, especially with some of these kind of older women's baseball leagues.

Sports and movie fans in particular will, of course, remember the 1992 movie In a League of Her Own, of course, about the All-American Girls Pro Baseball League, which we just mentioned. Last fall, even, there was a documentary about women's baseball called See Her, Be Her.

Let's dig a little bit more into bringing more young women and girls into the sport. And I want to be clear, like we're not here to disparage softball, right? Not at all. But how can we encourage more girls to play baseball instead of maybe always being directed towards softball? And what initiatives are currently in place to support those?

All right. That makes sense to me. Who are some of the key figures in women's baseball today that young players could maybe look up to and how have they contributed to the sport?

Well, you know, next year is a big year for this league. Just in general, looking ahead, what do you envision for the future of women's baseball, both in terms of professional opportunities and really also broader societal impact?
