The young blonde woman the media called "The Blonde Bombshell."

A running outfielder, Pat Keagle played for the Grand Rapid Chicks of the AAGPBL during the mid-1940s. Keagle was selected as an All-Star in 1946 when she led all outfielders in the women's baseball league in hitting.

Right off the start, the media's newspaper writers liked what they saw and Keagle quickly picked up the nickname "the Blonde Bombshell." Attendance rose from 1,600 per home game to well over 2,000 to see the young outfielder.
