Extremely rare \"official\" team signed 1950 Grand Rapid Chicks signed AAGPBL baseball with Manager Johnny Rawlings, Miller Earp, Dottie Hunter, Gabby Ziegler, Cookie Olinger, Dorrie Reid, Jaynne Bittner, Lefty Voyce, Sadie Satterfield, Beans Risinger, Dollie Niemec, Rose Gacioch, Sugar Koehn, Cookie Cook, and Pepper Paire. Team signed balls from this era are rarely made available on the market and the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown has only a handful of official team balls from this era on display or in their inventory. The baseballs in 1950 were 11-inch spheres, having started out with 12 inch in 1943. The team features two of the more colorful nick names in the AAGPBL, with Phyllis Koehn as \"Sugar\" Koehn and Millie Earp as \"Mid\". Johnny Rawlings had a long MLB career and played with the 1922 New York Giants in the Polo Grounds. Dottie Hunter was the team chaperone.
