Dottie Hunter

Dorothy "Dottie" Hunter (January 28, 1916 – August 17, 2005) was a Canadian first basewoman who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the 1943 season.

A member of several halls of fame, Hunter was one of 68 players from Canada to participate in the extinct All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

[1] She grew up in a home where sports were considered of vital importance, as her father was a prominent soccer player and coach.

Enticed with salaries ranging from $55 to $150 per week, the initial group of women would form four teams – the Racine Belles, Kenosha Comets, Rockford Peaches, and South Bend Blue Sox – for the league’s inaugural campaign.

Hunter enjoyed continued success following each move, becoming the only girl in AAGPBL history to participate in the playoffs every year, including four Championship Titles.
