Surgeon in the Infield
Dot Richardson, M.D., would not let prejudices against women stand in her way. She became an Olympic gold-medal shortstop in an era when people said, "Girls don’t play baseball." When few women held the title "Doctor," Dot became an orthopedic surgeon. Today she leads a thriving fitness and health center business and is one of only a handful of women holding top positions in corporate America. When Dot set her sights on a goal, she would Go For It!

The Dot Richardson doll is shown here in her USA softball uniform complete with visor and cleats. Her uniform has embroidered USA on the front and her name and number on the back. Dot is accompanied by a Louisville Slugger® bat and a soft ball both with Dot's signature.

In the accompanying book, Dot tells in her own words what it was like to be denied the chance to play and how she dealt with that rejection. Listen to her suggestions for "being yourself," for "finding your passion," for "following your dream."
