Women in TSN Players Contract Cards Collection
Overview
Below is a listing of all women that I could find that have their own card in The Sporting News Player Contract Cards Collection, housed at LA84.org.
I stumbled across the card of (Miss) Carol Jean Hodge while looking for another Hodge and it surprised me. I thought that these business women deserved a spotlight.
Women have long had a place in baseball, often behind the scenes. These cards show League Secretaries, Treasurers, Auditors, Ticket and Concession Managers, General Managers, Presidents, and more.
I searched for "Mrs." and "Miss". My guess is that there are still several that I haven't found, due to the fact that "Mrs." and "Miss" isn't explicitly on their cards. I'm also sure that there are omissions / errors and additions / corrections are to be made.
