Alta Little

Alta Lucille Little (May 21, 1923 – March 10, 1999) was an American first sacker and pitcher who played from 1947 to 1948 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). She batted and threw right handed.

Born in Gas City, Indiana, Little grew up in Muskegon, Michigan, where her sisters played on a softball team. She wanted to play along with her sisters, but the team's coach said her that she was too young. As luck would have it, one day the team was short of players and she received a chance to play at the age of 11. She then formed part of the regular lineup thereafter.

After baseball, Little she went into managing bowling lanes.

Little is part of the AAGPBL permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York opened in 1988, which is dedicated to the entire league rather than any individual figure.

In 1995, she was invited to Arlington Stadium to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before a game between the home Texas Rangers and the Oakland Athletics.
