The answer is probably no. The fact is that they have a professional softball league that is growing slowly but surely. If they could get softball players to be household names, professional softball would be infinitely better than womens basketball. Softball has everything baseball has with a little bit faster pace. Sure, the players aren't as good as MLB players but some of those girls have talent. My girlfriend plays college softball now and I have been going to the games and actually getting into them. It is actually quite exciting if you really care which team wins.

No. There basketball games are every bit as good and exciting as men's games but no one watches. Baseball would be the same way.
Besides, they play softball in high school so if anything they should start a fast-pitch softball league for women.

There was one in the '40s and '50s, but there won't be another one. Women's sports just do not draw enough interest to carry a league. It's a shame, but it is what it is. The pro soccer league folded, the basketball league that wasn't propped up by the NBA folded, and the WNBA would probably go away too if it weren't for the NBA keeping it going.

Fastpitch softball, IMO, is a much funner sport to watch. I was a huge baseball fan all my life and in college I discovered softball. I prefer it. There is a small pro league going for girls right now. I hope that there is expansion. But like someone else on here said, no one watches WNBA, and softball will be the same. Do you ever see the pro softball games televised?? Very rarely.

Actually there was a pro baseball league for women... a movie was based on it.... remember 'A League of their Own".
"Are you crying? Are you crying! There's no crying. There's no crying in baseball!!"... Classic
But no there will never be a pro baseball league for women again, since they all play softball.

There was a minor league team out of Colorado a few years back that was managed by Phil Neikro the former Atl. Braves pitcher
