From the age of 16 when she became a professional pitcher, Maude’s 40 year involvement in baseball covered every aspect of women’s baseball from pitching, playing third base, scouting and owning or managing some of the finest women’s teams to play in the early days. In 1908, one reporter wrote that she was “The Greatest All Round Female Ball Player In Existence.” From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake’s COA.
