DeLisa Chinn-Tyler

DeLisa Chinn-Tyler is a retired American softball outfielder. Chinn-Tyler, who is Black, appeared in an scene in the 1992 movie A League of Their Own as a bystander who throws back an overthrown ball from Bosse Field's first base bullpen to White actor Freddie Simpson who was warming up with actor Geena Davis in the bullpen, then gives Davis a glance full of meaning. She eventually played for the Express, a slow-pitch softball team that, according to WJCT, "dominated regional games and tournaments" in the 1970s and 1980s. She was known for her ability to throw runners out at first base from center field, and according to WJCT, was a "double threat on offense". Chinn-Tyler walks forward, picks up the ball, and throws it to Simpson who was throwing to Davis in the bullpen; the throw is clearly a mighty one. Chinn-Tyler recalls being told to throw the ball to Davis, then "give her a look that said that Black women could play also". The scene takes less than 15 seconds but is considered an important and "iconic" moment in the film. Chinn-Tyler received $750 for the part; she was told she would be credited, but wasn't.

As of 2022, Chinn-Tyler was working as a team leader at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana.
