Thelma Childress, later Pedin was an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player.
She was born in Richmond, Virginia.
Childress appeared as a member of the Grand Rapids Chicks club during its 1946 season.
The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988, that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.
