Dorothy Christ (September 9, 1925 – November 2, 2020) was an American baseball player who was a backup outfielder in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). Christ batted and threw right handed.[1]
Born in La Porte, Indiana in September 1925, Christ was assigned to the South Bend Blue Sox during its 1948 season.[1] She appeared in one game and went hitless in one at-bat.[2]
After baseball, Christ moved to Mishawaka, Indiana.[2] The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, since November 5, 1988, that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.[3]
Christ died in La Porte, Indiana in November 2020, at the age of 95.[4]
