Mary Dobkin Mary Dobkin (August 30, 1902 – August 22, 1987) was an American amateur sports coach and advocate for children. ==Early life== Dobkin was a tiny child when her father died; soon after, she left Russia in the care of an aunt and uncle, and settled in Baltimore, Maryland. That domestic arrangement was also short-lived, and ended when Mary was found alone and unconscious on a winter night, with no shoes and severe frostbite, when she was six years old. She spent much of her remaining childhood in hospitals, enduring a long series of operations, including the amputation of both feet and part of one leg. Dobkin used a wheelchair or crutches for most of her life. Dobkin remembered hearing the crowds at Baltimore Orioles games from her hospital room, and that sparked an interest in baseball. She also remembered learning to speak English from a radio in the hospital, and learning to read from deciphering the sports pages in newspapers.
