A baseball umpire once said, "There's balls and there's strikes, but they ain't nothin' until I call 'em."



It seems that female players are at a higher risk to get called for handling the ball versus their male counterparts although both have the same intention: protecting their bodies from painful impact. But the girls have to raise their arms whereas the boys go into a FK-wall with hands down protecting their private parts (already deliberately handling ).
