The only women's team sports that approach or exceed coverage (and usually equality) in this country are beach volleyball (team sports being used loosely - once every four years) and soccer (once every four years and when its stars pose in SI). Individual women's sports like gymnastics, figure skating, tennis and occasionally golf do exceed or equal coverage (not necessarily skill) of their men's counterparts.

Yes, Finch could strike out most major-leaguers just as Justin Verlander would strike out almost all softball players. So what? They are different sports, using different size and weight balls with different throwing motions at different distances.

and i'll go ahead and stand by my point that division I softball players are better at their sport than division I baseball players are at theirs. cleaner, quicker, better.

So can the best DI softball player hit a Verlander or, shit, Jeff Karstens for that matter?

That is not what he is saying, not even close

It's also an easier game to play. Bigger ball, no grass on the infield, shorter distances to throw the ball...

The bigger ball is also easier to hit, throw and field.

All we need now is some douchbag boys to decide they want to play softball and dominate their league.

Ever watched men's top level fast pitch? If you have you would never ever say it is easier to hit.
