Age Is Just the Count: How Micaela Minner and Homa Schweers Are Proving Experience Belongs in the WPBL (And Why That Makes Me Cheer)

In her latest Podcast, Lee Walpole Lassiter, Esq. celebrates the return of professional women’s baseball — and two athletes who refuse to let age define their game.

As the Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) prepares for its 2026 debut, forty-year-old standouts Micaela Minner and Homa Schweers are rewriting the rules on what it means to be “in your prime.”

From Minner’s powerhouse days at the University of Missouri and her career mentoring hundreds of young athletes, to Schweers’ decades of grassroots leadership and endurance, both women embody what the WPBL stands for: opportunity that doesn’t expire.

Lee draws a parallel to her own “second inning” as a sports attorney and agent, cheering for a league that values persistence as much as potential. Her message is clear — in the WPBL and in life, experience is the real MVP.
