Bob Knepper

Born on today's date.

"I don't think women should be in any position of leadership. I don't think they should be presidents or politicians. I think women were not created in an inferior position, but in a role of submission to men."

Pam Postema

 

On this date in 1991, former minor league umpire, Pam Postema files a sex discrimination lawsuit against the AL, NL, AAA and the Baseball Office of Umpire Development.

"This is not an occupation a woman should be in. In God's society, woman was created in a role of submission to the husband. It's not that woman is inferior, but I don't believe women should be in a leadership role." - Bob Knepper on Pam Postema (1988)

Happy belated (day after) birthday wishes to Bob Knepper.

Bob does seem to have some strong and firm views as to "women".

This Knepper quote from baseballreliquary.org:

"I don't think women should be in any position of leadership. I don't think they should be presidents or politicians. I think women were created not in an inferior position, but in a role of submission to men."

And this one from the New York Times on his thoughts on the National Organization for Women:

"They are a bunch of lesbians. Their focus has nothing to do with women's rights. It has everything to do with women wanting to be men."

On this very special day (after), we pause to celebrate the very unique (and ongoing) life of Bob Knepper.
