Alice Hohlmayer

Alice Hohlmayer (later Naughton; January 19, 1925 – March 25, 2017) was an American first sacker and pitcher who played from 1946 through 1951 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

Alice played softball at age five with her brothers and later served as a batgirl and player for the Finke and Herne club, which toured across Ohio, being selected at first base for the All-Star team in the 1937 State's Tournament.

Then, she was discovered by an AAGPBL sport in 1945 while playing during a tournament in Cleveland, and later was contacted by the league's president Max Carey.

She opened at first base, then gradually started to pitch until becoming a full-time pitcher, showing good batting skills and a hard throwing arm.
