>>>>If you're asking if Major League Baseball (and its minor league teams) have female players, the answer is no. Little League (up to 13 years old, I believe) does allow girls to play. Your video is showing a female 'Batboy', a person who shags foul balls, brings balls to the umpire (the guy in the suit behind home plate) and will take bats back to the dugout after a hit.

My pet peeve about baseball culture is that players don't shake hands after the game. Does not look good, IMHO.
