Mary Pratt, who played for the Rockford Peaches and Kenosha Comets in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, has died. She was 101.
Pratt pitched in the women's league from 1943-47. The league was profiled in the 1992 movie "A League of Their Own."
She was believed to be the last surviving member of the original 1943 Peaches. The league said in a tweet that Pratt's "stories, her energy will be missed for a long time."
We are terribly sad to report that former Rockford Peaches and Kenosha Comets pitcher, Mary Pratt passed away on May 6th.
