i know this is a late reply, but I wanted to let you know that there are womens leagues in the united states. There are teams in nj bergen county, philly, nyc, (we cover the five boroughs long island and westchester) washington dc, rhode island, also a few out on the west in colorado.
We play on a regulation sized baseball field, wood or aluminum bats. (though our outfield is HUGE

)
The answer to why no professional baseball, honestly the level of play is not up there yet for that. There is a national team that competes against other countries like japan, australia, canada and on occasion dominican republic.
We have to encourage more young girls to come out and play baseball, but most of them are encouraged to play fastpitch softball ;(
