- Eileen_Gascon abstract "Eileen Gascon [\"Ginger\"] (born December 1, 1931), played center field and second base in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She both batted and threw right-handed.Born in Chicago, Illinois, she grew up in a few different neighborhoods in the state. In particular she remembers the area she lived in for around a decade (from when she was 8 until 18), near the Wrigley Field, near Hawthorne School. She was the third in a family of three girls. Her Irish immigrant mother was a housewife and her father worked as a truck driver. Since there were very few girls in the neighborhood from the time she turned 10, Gascon had to play ball otherwise she wouldn't have anyone with whom to play. She was pretty good and always went to the division meetings.Gascon studied Education and Psychology at a local college, the Northeastern Illinois State College in Chicago. She used her education to become an elementary teacher for six years and following that, a counselor for 28 years.Since she lived close to the Wrigley Field and her uncle was a policeman who worked at the gate there, Gascon was often given the opportunity to watch Phil Cavarretta, Andy Pafko, etc. Thus began her love for the game.At around 15 years old, Gascon played started playing with the North Town Debs and then the girls started forming groups which was when she went with the Sallies. With the Sallies, she played second base. Some of her other friends at the time joined the Colleens. She was recruited from playing in the Chicago playgrounds. In the traveling team she was with Mirtha Marrero and Isabel Alvarez with whom she was able to converse in Spanish since she had studied it in high school.In 1949 she played with the traveling team and a year later, she returned to play with Chicago, for the Bluebirds also for a year, playing center field. In 1951, Gascon returned to the Grand Rapids Chicks, thereafter playing a further three years again with the Bluebirds. During this time she was able to work a day job and play ball simultaneously. In addition, she played with the Peoria Redwings.Gascon was the youngest member of the Chicago Queens, at a time when the New Orleans Jacks teams were part of it who really knew what they were doing, producing some of the best pitchers. Connie Wisnwiewski was also in that league, who had also come to the Grand Rapids Chicks. When Gascon played with the Grand Rapids Chicks, it was in the position of center field.".
