Wednesday marks a special day for society, as it is International Women’s Day.
On this day, it is important to remember the importance of women in our society and the role they play in trying to make the world a better place.
Even in the sports world, women have been making strides and leaving lasting impacts on their teams and those around them.

Reynolds asked Gajownik how far she believes women have come in professional sports.
Gajownik responded by saying that she is quite impressed by the strides women have made not just in baseball, but other sports as well.
She says that there are more opportunities for women to take part in baseball and that more and more women are making a positive impact on the game.
Gajownik is impressed by the number of women who have gained traction in the game and are making positive changes.
She listed several women who are impactful figures in the game today and says that the important thing is that these women are not taking on menial tasks.
