Shirley “Hustle”

You inspired me and so many others.

Shirley was a beautiful, quiet and dignified soul. She always had a kind word for people and was a huge supporter of providing opportunities for girls and women in all aspects of baseball. I loved watching Shirley with little girls who wanted to play ball. Her face just lit up when she talked with them. I will miss you my friend!!

What an awesome baseball player and a part of baseball history, a shining example for so many women. Sincere sympathies to the Burkovich family, friends and the many fans, truly sorry for your loss, may God help you all in your time of your sorrow.

So sorry to hear of her passing. Loved that movie and remember her in it!! Rest in peace

What a wonderful woman and thoughtful of others. I feel very fortunate to have known Shirley. She will be missed as she has left a mark in the world of women baseball players. Rest In Peace Shirley.

Thank you, Shirley, for being such a pioneer and legend! May you rest in peace on a diamond in Heaven!

A baseball legend, so wonderfully talented, an amazing player. Sincere sympathies to the Burkovich family and friends, so very sorry for your loss, may God grant strength and peace to you all.

I was so sad to hear about Shirley's passing! She was the first player I met at an AAGPBL gathering outside of Chicago several years ago! What a great gal! Her love of the game was so electrifying! Another player called up! Find comfort she is "safe" at home! My thoughts and prayers go to her family and to the gals of the AAGPBL. She will be missed! Rest in peace Shirley! Thank you for being a trailblazer and all that you have done for women's baseball!
