Mary Elizabeth Murphy (April 13, 1894 – July 27, 1964), known as "The Queen of Baseball", was the first woman to play professional baseball, competing with male athletes in 1922. She played baseball for seventeen years as a first baseman; she also played on several all-star teams. Murphy was born April 13, 1894 probably in Warren, Rhode Island, though some sources indicate that she was born in Canada. Her parents were Mary (née Garan) and John Murphy; her father was a mill hand and also a semi-pro baseball player. Lizzie was athletic and was a runner, skater, and swimmer, besides playing baseball. By age 12, she had quit school and gone to work at the Parker Woolen Mill as a ring spinner. In her spare time, she played baseball with the Warren Silk Hats and the Warren Baseball Club. By age 15, she was playing on the local men's business amateur league teams, such as the Warren Shoe Company. Wikipedia
