Muriel Coben

Muriel Eleanor Coben (February 17, 1921 – June 8, 1979) was a Canadian pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

[1] Muriel Coben was one of the 68 players born in Canada to join the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in its twelve years history.

Unfortunately, she suffered one of the worst pitching performances of the year, after posting a combined 4–16 record with the South Bend Blue Sox and Rockford Peaches, while leading the league for the most earned runs allowed (102).

In 1950 she moved to Edmonton, Alberta, where she joined the Mortons ball club and aided them in winning the Canadian championship over a very strong Toronto squad in 1952.

Besides McKee [skip] and Coben [lead], the team included Sylvia Fedoruk [third] and Donna (Paton) Belding [second].
