Joey Politano🏳️🌈 @josephpolitano.bsky.social · 14d Permit me one sports post today: I’m so excited for the launch of the Women’s Pro Baseball League, they just rolled out the teams & logos today & each name is a reference to an important woman in the city’s history (Boston’s Harriot Hunt, NY’s Dorothy Height, LA’s Lizzie Murphy, SF’s Lillie Coit)

Love the decision to tie each team to women who shaped their city's history. Gives every franchise an identity from day one.
NY Heights is extremely good, love for Americans to be proud of two of our greatest contributions to the world, the skyscraper and baseball.
more than anything I’m grateful they didn’t completely fall victim to the epidemic of women’s sports teams being named after random abstract concepts (“Tempo”, “Charge”, “Spirit”) like they’re luxury apartment buildings. Heights is the really the only one like that and I can excuse it in moderation.
