In 1952, Mary “Bonnie” Baker was a guest on the popular TV game show “What’s My Line?” A group of celebrity panelists were tasked with guessing her extraordinary profession. Panelist Dorothy Kilgallen correctly guessed Baker was a professional baseball player.
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Baker was one of sixty-eight Canadian players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She made her debut as a catcher for the South Bend Blue Sox in 1943, where she stayed until 1949.
