Edith Houghton 1922
She joined the Philadelphia Bobbies at age 10 in 1922 and played internationally with them in Japan. She then played for the Hollywood Girls and New York Bloomer Girls. After this, she became a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies.
She was a shortstop but also pitched and played a few other positions at various other times.

Mary Lou Beschorner 1949
Outfielder for the Grand Rapids Chicks from 1949 to 1950.
Her initials are MLB so it seems like she was destined by fate to become a ballplayer.

Edith Houghton BABY PIC
I'm sorry I found this one too adorable to not post! It's cropped from an old family pic of her and all her siblings that I found in an archive.

Maybelle Blair 1948
The one and only!
She pitched for the Peoria Redwings in 1948 but is probably a more well-known celebrity today than she was even back then (yes she is still alive too!) The bat cane is like actually awesome might I just say.

More Blair pics
More shots of Maybelle Blair now. I was only able to find 2 pics of her when she was younger which I posted above.
I included some shots of her in MLB team jerseys from when she threw out the first pitch at various ballparks. I'm genuinely impressed at her ability to travel that much at her age.
