Elsie Wingrove

The association was largely responsible for the opening of Women in Baseball, a permanent display based at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, which was unveiled in 1988 to honor the entire All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Besides her AAGPBL recognition, she gained honorary induction into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.

״Windy״, as her teammates called her, married immigration officer Russell Earl in 1948, which spelled an end to her playing career. She raised two boys, Norman and Gary, and became a customs broker. She also helped her husband coach Little League Baseball and junior girls fastpitch softball while working for the Canadian customs. Eventually, sometimes she filled in on the border league men's team when they were lacking players. She retired in 1988 and began to attend AAGPBL Players Association reunions with her spouse.

After high school, Wingrove was employed as a bank teller and attended Saskatoon Technical College, where she played for its softball team, the Saskatoon Pats. In 1946, during Western league fastball playoffs, she was spotted by an AAGPBL talent scout who invited her to a try out at Pascagoula, Mississippi. She made the grade and was assigned to the Grand Rapids Chicks after spring training, but was loaned out to the Fort Wayne Daisies for a few weeks during her rookie season. After returning to Grand Rapids, she became part of the championship squad in the 1947 season.

Elsie "Earl" Wingrove (September 26, 1923 – July 13, 2016) was a former Canadian outfielder who played from 1946 through 1947 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 6", 130 lb., she batted and threw right handed.
