Nancy Elizabeth Mudge [Cato] (October 3, 1929 – July 24, 2012) was an infielder who played from 1950 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

After that, she spent 1953 with the relocated Muskegon Belles, when the franchise moved for a while to see if that city would support a girls baseball team, but the experiment failed and Mudge returned to Kalamazoo in 1954.

[5] Since 1980, her former teammate June Peppas and a group of friends began assembling a list of names and addresses of former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League players.

The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is now a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, since November 5, 1988, that honors those who were part of this unique experience.

In July 1988, the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) held their annual National Convention in Minneapolis with 340 people in attendance.

[6] In 1992, Mudge, along Jean Havlish and Kay Heim, two other Minnesota residents and former AAGPBL players, were invited to throw out the first pitch in a game Angels–Twins played at the Metrodome.

The trio also was honored by the Colorado Silver Bullets all-female baseball team in their 1994 inaugural season, in which they threw out the first ball pitch of a game celebrated in Saint Paul.
