Thelma Childress (later Pedin and then Kinney, October 9, 1926 – October 18, 2019) was an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player. She was born in Richmond, Virginia.[1] Childress appeared as a member of the Grand Rapids Chicks[2] club during its 1946 season.
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]
Kinney survived her son, J.S. Scot Pedin, who died in March 2019 at the age of 63.[4] She died in October 2019, shortly before her 94th birthday.[5]
