    Yes, I know the Air Bud rule as it applies to non-male athletes in male leagues. And I will say the same as I did elsewhere in this thread- “Black men can’t play baseball in the National League” was not a rule. They just made sure any black man until Jackie Robinson knew exactly what would happen to them if they qualified. And that probably didn’t include rape threats.
