Yolande Teillet

She started off by playing for the St. Vital Tigerettes in the position of catcher in the early 1940s, where she was scouted to play in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She was soon after recruited to play for the Fort Wayne Daisies as an inaugural member of the team (in 1945), who came in second place that year to the Rockford Peaches. She also played for the Grand Rapids Chicks (in 1946), as well as the Kenosha Comets (in 1947), before returning home to play for the Tigerettes once again. Yolande was inducted as one of eleven female athletes from Manitoba who played in the All-American Girls league, into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988, and Into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.^[6][7]
