It’s a new year, and Megan and Sue have a new set of intentions for 2026 to share. But first they’re checking in on how they did on last year’s intentions: Did Megan develop her green thumb? Did Sue read more consistently? Then, 2026 is shaping up to be a banner year in women’s sports. Several leagues are expanding AND women’s sports are getting a full season of professional lacrosse and the first women’s professional baseball league since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League featured in A League of Their Own). Given all these new and burgeoning leagues, Megan and Sue reminisce on being part of young, brand new, and – in Megan’s case – folding leagues. Plus, Sue tells us if she’d been forced to choose between playing overseas (where the salaries were much higher) and staying stateside, which one she’d choose.
