Jeanne Gilchrist (June 13, 1926 – August 4, 2004) was a Canadian catcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 5", 125 lb., Gilchrist batted and threw right handed. She was born in New Westminster, British Columbia.[1][2]
Gilchrist was one of the 68 players born in Canada to join the AAGPBL in its twelve-year history. She appeared in three games for the Peoria Redwings in its 1946 season,[1] serving in a backup role for incumbent catcher Mary Rountree. She had one hit in six at-bats for a .167 batting average during her brief playing stint in the league.[2]
After baseball, Gilchrist worked as a teacher and was an avid sports girl, particularly in golf and curling, being a member of The Vancouver Golf Club for over 50 years as well as an Honorary Life Member of the Vancouver Business Women's Curling League.[3] Additionally, tennis, bridge and lawn bowling completed her interests.[3]
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.[4]
In 1998, Gilchrist and all Canadian AAGPBL players gained honorary induction into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.[5]
Gilchrist died in 2004 in New Westminster, British Columbia, at the age of 78.[3]
