Ann Garman (later Hosted; born March 11, 1933 - September 25, 2022) was a former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player. Listed at 5' 6", 140 lbs, Garman batted and threw right handed. She was born in Avilla, Indiana.[1][2]

An above average defender at first base, Garman had a chance to play in the All American League before it folded in 1954. She played in 21 games with the South Bend Blue Sox in its 1953 season.[1] She recorded 195 putouts with seven assists and turned six double plays, while committing only seven errors in 209 total chances for a .967 fielding average.[3] Her hitting was her weak spot, as she posted an average of .154 (10-for-65) with seven RBI and five runs scored while stealing one base.[3]

Garman became a teacher and housewife after baseball. She had three children and was a grandmother of seven. Following her retirement, she moved to Wawaka, Indiana, where she continued to be active in social activities.[2]

In 1988, a permanent display was inaugurated at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, that honors those who were part of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Garman is included at the display/exhibit.[4]
