Marjorie L. Pieper ["Peeps"] (August 2, 1922-February 6, 2008) was an infielder, outfielder and pitcher who played from 1946 through 1952 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m), 140 lbs., she batted and threw right-handed.

Born in Clinton, Michigan, Marjorie Pieper saw action with seven different teams during her seven years in the league. She was used as an infield/outfield utility, playing mainly shortstop, third base and right field, and eventually served as a spot starting pitcher. She also was a consistent hitter and showed good speed on the bases and in the field.

Pieper moved around for a while, as the AAGPBL shifted players as needed to help teams stay afloat. Unfortunately, she never achieved a playoff berth to set an all-time record for the most years in the league without playing in the postseason.

While growing in Clinton, Pieper played basketball, softball and tennis. She graduated in physical education at University of Michigan and also worked in a local bookstore. In addition, she was a member of two Michigan State softball champion teams in 1944 and 1945 before playing in the AAGPBL.
