Leona Kearns 1920s
She was a member of the Philadelphia Bobbies club in the 1920s and was a teammate of the famous Edith Houghton. According to John Thorn, Leona played first base as well as pitcher. According to her sister who only died in 2005, Leona threw a knuckleball. She met a tragic end in 1926 after being swept overboard from a ship and her body was never recovered. She would have only been 17 years old.

Lizzie Arlington 1898
First woman to play in the minor leagues, she appeared with the Reading Coal Heavers in 1898. I noticed the only known photograph of her has a sketch based off of it, so it seems likely that the second sketch of her looking straight ahead is based off of a second photo, though no existing copies of it have been found by anyone as far as I can tell.

Donna Becker 1951
Pitcher for the Kalamazoo Lassies in 1951, sadly the only known photo of her in uniform doesn't show her face very well, but I found a clear pic of her face when she was much older.

Catherine Bennett 1943
Pitcher for the Kenosha Comets and South Bend Blue Sox from 1943 to 1944. She's a bit of a mystery player as her birthday is listed as September 4, 1920, but there is no death date listed. It's possible that she may possibly still be alive at age 104 but the official AAGPBL page on Facebook posted this statement in 2021: "Catherine Bennett would be 101 today, September 4. Catherine played for the 1943 , Kenosha Comets and 1943-44 for South Bend Blue Sox as a pitcher. She is from Regina, SK. This player has not been located. We have no additional information. If you or someone you know has information regarding this player, please contact us."

Joan Berger (Knebl) 1951
I don't think she's related to Barbara because her actual name was Eisenberger but she played under the name Berger.
Infielder/right fielder for the Rockford Peaches from 1951 to 1954.
