Exclusive | In the all-female Bombshell Baseball Club, even Yankees and Red Sox fans get along
They’re in a league of their own.The 3,000 women of Bombshell Baseball Club take game days very seriously — and if they can’t make it to the stadium, they’re dissecting games live in their huge group chat.“Every single at bat, every out, is being talked about in that moment,” founder Alley Cabral told The Post.“When the game is on, we are all talking baseball, but then it goes into girls’ families and their marriages and relationship stuff.”Cabral, 29, a Bronx native, actually quit her corporate job this year to run the club for female fans of Major League Baseball, which she launched via Twitter in October 2024.Back then, she named it Bronx Bombshells, intending it to be for diehard Yankees fans like herself.“As a Dominican-American, baseball is my identity.

It’s when you get to see 162 games worth of fandom hopefully pay off and experience it with the people you love the most,” said Erica Fisher of New Jersey, who has been a member since 2025.Soon after Cabral started the then-Twitter group, members began encouraging her to organize in-person meetups.The first one was at Yankee Stadium in April 2025, when eight girls showed up.
In August, 230 women showed up for a Yankees hat event.“They talk every single day ..
.so they literally act like they’ve known each other for years.
