Iâ m tallish, prettyish, and a lot more interesting than most of the people I write about.Iâ m good at my job, to the active disappointment of some of my male colleagues, who have been waiting for me to fall on my face since the day I walked into my first spring training.I am also the only woman on the team plane who doesnâ t serve drinks. Kate has her problems with the arrogance, ignorance, easy money and bigotry of the sports world. She also has impossible deadlines and puts in weeks of overtime.
