The Babes love nothing more than a fellow Babe (and fellow New Jerseyan, sorry not sorry) who has worked hard to pave a way for herself in a male-dominated industry. We all know this shit is not easy, especially when the media only spends roughly 5% of their coverage on women’s sports. But that’s why we’re happy to have Maria Marino getting out there and … Continue reading Babe of the Week: Maria Marino
Over the past week, many articles came out about Team USA fencer Alen Hadzic. If you haven’t heard yet, here’s the long and short of it. It’s really quite simple: Alen Hadzic has a well-known reputation leading back to his days at Columbia University as a known sexual predator. So much so that he was forced to fly to Tokyo separately from other athletes and … Continue reading USA Fencing cannot hide Alen Hadzic

Here’s your #GirlPower lineup: – Melanie Newman, Play-by-Play – Alanna Rizzo, On-Field … Continue reading Why I’m Giddy: The First Ever All-Female MLB Broadcast
Winning an ESPY is pretty cool, but Babe of the Week? Yeah, big week for Paige Bueckers. Paige took home the award for Best College Athlete (Women’s Sports) this past week at the ESPYs, and it was more than deserved. Paige is a stellar basketball player at UConn. Upon researching the young star’s career highlights, I got overwhelmed because she is that special of a … Continue reading Babe of the Week: Paige Bueckers
If I’m being honest, golf isn’t necessarily my favorite sport, but once I did my research and started learning about South Korean golfer Inbee Park, I went down a rabbit hole that left me wondering if I woke up in 2022. Watching Inbee whack a golf ball is like watching sand pour into a glass vase – so smooth, so satisfying, so good. At just … Continue reading Babe of the Week: Inbee Park
Have you watched LFG on HBO Max yet? If not, where you at? Last night, I snuggled up on my couch with a bowl of popcorn and my male dog (he’s a feminist) to watch this documentary. Not even 15 minutes in, and I got shampoo in my eye! How did that happen?! I have no idea. Fine I’ll admit it – I cried. How … Continue reading Babes Movie Club: LFG
It’s 2021 and the MLB has decided on its latest crackdown – foreign substances used by pitchers. Last night, Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago was ejected from the game for a foreign substance found on his glove – he certainly won’t be the last. New protocols just went into effect last week, stating that stating pitchers will be subjected to ejections and 10-game suspensions if … Continue reading MLB’s Foreign Substance Crackdown is a Circus
Alice Milliat is likely a name you’ve never heard. Much to my own chagrin, I hadn’t heard of her until very recently. What a shame. I can’t imagine she’d love being called a ‘babe’, but hey, that’s the brand and she was a complete badass… babe. Born Alice Joséphine Marie Million in Nantes, France, Alice was a champion of the women’s sports movement in the … Continue reading Babe of the Week: Alice Milliat
Oh, hello. It’s been a while, I know that. But a girl’s gotta work and bring home the bacon. Meanwhile, baseball has been happening and it’s been good. I decided to take a break from remembering our service men and women, eating all the food and drinking all the booze to recap the biggest moments from 2018’s Memorial Day Weekend. Anthony Rizzo – Oops. Monday’s … Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend Recap
A Scherzer-Kershaw matchup kicks off a full weekend of baseball. The Mets are doing well (thoughts and prayers go out to Yankee fans in this time of gloating), Mookie Betts and the Sox are KILLING (again, #thoughtsandprayers to Yanks fans) and the Marlins and Reds are kinda just going rogue. But don’t worry, the Bronx has Sir Didi. Maybe this is the weekend that the … Continue reading Weekend Vibes
