Who is Wilma Briggs?
Wilma Briggs [Briggsie] is a former left fielder who played from 1948 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 4", 138 lb., she batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
Baseball historians rank Briggs among the most stellar hitters in AAGPBL history. She led the league in home runs during the 1953 season, ranks second in the all-time home runs list behind Eleanor Callow and over Dorothy Schroeder and Jean Geissinger, and was one of only 14 players to collect 300 or more career runs batted in, yet she was never selected to the All-Star team.
