Earlier this month, the Independent League Sonoma Stompers made headlines by?signing two women to the team. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Sam-Huff-Jersey/ . And it clearly didnt take long for the women to prove they could hang with the men on the baseball field.Fourteen games after her debut, Kelsie Whitmore showed young girls everywhere that anything is possible on Wednesday after hitting a single past the first baseman during the Stompers game against the San Rafael Pacifics. Although she isnt the first woman to get a hit in a professional game, it is the first time it has happened with two women on the same team.While the crowd, which included her proud parents, was understandably excited, she wasnt satisfied. A lot of the guys were asking why I wasnt jumping up and down, she said in a phone interview with MLB.com.My thought process was Thats just one hit. I need more.And Whitmores history-making wont end there. She is slated to make another first on Friday night when she takes the mound with her USWNT teammate Anna Kimberly playing catcher. The two will become the first all-female battery in professional baseball in over 60 years.Kit and Dottie from A League of Their Own would be proud. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redsk...an-Reed-Jersey/ . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redsk...nderson-Jersey/ . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redsk...cholson-Jersey/ . Numbers Game looks into the Canadiens securing the services of Thomas Vanek in a trade with the New York Islanders. The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick. CHICAGO -- Derrick Rose received a mix of boos and cheers during introductions before his first game back in Chicago on Friday night. He also was booed the first few times he handled the ball.But Rose walked off of the Bulls floor with a smile and celebratory high-five from teammate Joakim Noah after helping the New York Knicks?to a much-needed?117-104 win at the United Center.Afterward, Rose said the boos from the home crowd didnt bother him.It was all fun, man. I love competing, he said after recording 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds in his best performance as a Knick. I love when the crowd is into it. I knew it was going to be some yells. I knew there was going to be some boos. Im from here. Im used to it. Ive been getting it ever since I was in sixth grade, going on the West Side of Chicago and playing and me being a South Side. Im used to it.Noah, a teammate of Roses for eight seasons in Chicago, was greeted with a loud ovation during his introduction. He said afterward that it was difficult to keep his emotions in check.There was a lot of love in the building, Noah said. I was trying to stay as focused on the game as possible.Rose and Noah were later featured in a video tribute by the Bulls at the first timeout. The montage showed highlights throughout their Chicago careers.The home crowd then cheered both players as they walked on the floor following the video.It means a lot, Rose said. I played eight years here, figured out how to play the NBA game. I had great coaches along the way in the past, and this is a new chapter here.The initial boos for Rose were probably the result of the complicated legacy he left in Chicago.Rose, a Chicago native, was drafted by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick out of Memphis in 2008. He was named Rookie of the Year that season and earned the NBA MVP award after thee 2010-11 campaign, becoming the youngest player to win the award. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redsk...n-Grant-Jersey/. But Rose suffered his first knee injury in the playoffs the following season and suffered several injuries over the next four seasons. In total, he played in just 39 percent of his games following the initial injury. During that span, Rose received criticism over what some perceived to be a cautious approach to his rehab.The Bulls missed the playoffs last season, when Rose played in 66 games. He was traded to New York in late June. A few days later, Noah opted to sign with Knicks as a free agent after spending his first nine seasons in Chicago.Noah said earlier Friday that it was an appropriate time to break up the core of the Bulls. He later added that he and Rose, his close friend, did all they could to win a title in their years with the Bulls.Even though we didnt win a championship here, I know how hard and bad Derrick wanted to win one, how bad I wanted to win one. It just didnt happen, Noah said. There are no regrets. We gave everything we had for this city.Said Rose: Only thing I can do about that is say I gave it my all. I really tried. I had multiple times, many times, where I envisioned winning a championship here. It never happened, so Ive got to take [those] visions and take them to New York.The Knicks improved to 2-3 on Friday, thanks in part to strong performances from Rose, Noah and Kristaps Porzingis (27 points, five rebounds). Noah finished with 16 points, nine rebounds and four assists.It felt really good. Im not going to lie. It felt great, Noah said. It was good to bounce back. I think our team is going to keep growing. We need that adversity. Thats when you know what a team is really made of.
