While a woman has never played in an MLB regular season game, there was a woman who played in spring training and struck out Babe Ruth, and her name was Jackie Mitchell she also struck out Lou Gehrig, on 7 combined pitches. (Ruth on 4, Gehrig on 3). There was the All American Girls Professional Baseball League, and there was a movie made about this called, A League of Their Own. There is no rule stating that a women can't play in MLB.

Women were somewhat allowed in baseball in 1867 when Dolly Vardens became the first woman to play on a professional team for pay. In 1875 fans attended the first official women's baseball game.
