Ethel McCreary was a Canadian infielder/outfielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She batted and threw right handed.^[1]^[2]

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Ethel McCreary was one of the 57 players born in Canada to join the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in its twelve years history. She was also one of the original Kenosha Comets league's founding members in its 1943 inaugural season.^[3]

McCreary served primarily as a backup outfielder and played some games at first base. She posted a slash line (BA/OBP/SLG) of .251/.305/.299 in her only season, a pretty good performance considering it was a dominant pitching circuit and no batters surpassed a .300 average on the year.^[1]

McCreary gained honorary induction into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. She received further recognition in 1988 when she became part of Women in Baseball, a permanent display based at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, which was unveiled to honor the entire All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.^[4]
