Dorothy Seymour Mills (July 5, 1928 – November 17, 2019) was an American baseball author, historian and researcher.[1] She met her future husband while attending Fenn College, where he was teaching.[1]
In 2010, Oxford University Press credited her as a co-author of the books Baseball: The Early Years, Baseball: The Golden Age, and Baseball: The People's Game, which had all been published under her husband's name.[2]
In 2017, the Society for American Baseball Research created the Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award in her name to recognize "any person with a sustained involvement in women's baseball or any woman with a longtime involvement in baseball in any fashion."[3]
