Fem_Ump_Cuba_6_04_07.jpg We at Guanabee tend to honor the moxy of a righteous femme who blazes a trail in her field, especially when she fights off marriage proposals rather than catcalls along the way. Meet Yanet Moreno, the first female umpire in Cuba to break into the island’s major leagues and subsequently receive nuptial promises from the very men she’s paid to reign in. (e.g., With this jonrón, I thee wed; Oye, chica, how ’bout a honey moon touring Yanqui Stadium?)


With ballers lined up around the block, it’s a wonder she’s still on the market:

Yes, Moreno is single. But, no, she has yet to accept an on-field marriage proposal.

“There are a lot,” she said. “I don’t remember them all.”

A word to the wise, Yanet: beware beisbolistas bearing a ring.
