NOTE: Special Mention for Senior Softball
(10 All Worlds, 4 MVPs) - Reenie Fitzgerald - She played with several legendary Greater Cincinnati teams during her early career,
including Dairy Cottage (1964-1968), Escue Pontiac (1969), Tri-State Auction (1970) and Cincinnati Cardinals (1973-1975).
But it wasn’t until Reenie began to play in the Masters and Senior program that she really hit her stride. In 1993, she joined
Northern Cincinnati Sports Medicine, which captured the USSSA Women’s 35-Over World Tournament in Columbia, SC.
Reenie had finally won a World Tournament and was named to her first All-World team. Northern Cincinnati Sports Medicine went
on to win two more 35-Over Worlds in 1998 and 1999, then she then joined the Ohio Cardinals in 1999. Over the next twelve years,
the Cardinals won eight world titles. Reenie has been named to ten All-World teams, and earned four World Tournament MVP awards.
Primarily a pitcher, her lifetime won-loss record is an incredible 345-92, and she is 56-9 in world tournament play.
Reenie boasts a career batting average of .620
