Thelma Golden

Thelma Fidler Golden (1915 – July 18, 1980) was a Canadian fastpitch softball pitcher. She batted and threw right handed.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, she was the daughter of Theodore and Rosana Fidler. The family immigrated to the United States in 1925, but Thelma later returned to Canada. Thelma Golden was dubbed the 'strike-out queen' of Toronto amateur softball between the late 1930s and early 1940s. Golden began her career in 1928 and by 1931 was already considered a top notch player. By then, she pitched for the Toronto Nationals of the Sunnyside Ladies Softball League. The AAGPBL Players Association list also recognized players who signed contracts, but may not have played a game during their career. Eight years after her death, Thelma Golden, along with the rest of the girls and the league staff, was included at the display/exhibit.
