A few years after her baseball career ended a newspaper article wrote that she was “Keeping a low, low profile in Boise.”
And who could blame her?
Every move she made in baseball drew national attention. She wasn’t trying to become famous for breaking barriers. She didn’t want to be a darling of second-wave feminism. She was, as she told newspapers, “just a gal in love with the Mavs who would like to go and hide.”
In November 1974, the Portland Mavericks hired Lanny Moss as General Manager. She became the first woman to hold that position and run a professional baseball team.
