Ruth Richard [Richie] (born September 20, 1928) is a former female catcher who played from 1947 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 4", 134 lb., she batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
Richard spent eight seasons in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. A six-time All-Star, she also was a member of four champion teams. Richard made a transition from outfield to catcher, which enabled her to utilize her strong throwing arm more effectively, and she responded by gunning down more baserunners than any catcher in the league. Basically a line-drive hitter, she posted a .241 career batting average in 725 games, driving in 287 runs while scoring 237. As a catcher, she committed only 134 errors in 3,407 total chances for a .961 career fielding average.

Six-time All-Star selection (1949-'54)
Four-time Championship Team (1947-'50)
Seven playoff appearances (1947-'53)

Grand Rapids Chicks (1947)
Rockford Peaches (1948-'54)
