Shirley L. Crites (August 21, 1934 – December 28, 1990) was an infielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the season. Crites batted and threw right-handed. She was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. ״Squirrely״, as her teammates nicknamed her, played briefly for the 1953 pennant-winning Fort Wayne Daisies. She hit a .129 average in 47 games, appearing mainly at third base as a backup to incumbent Catherine Horstman, which gave manager Bill Allington the chance to use Hortsman more as a pitcher. Fort Wayne clinched the title with a 66–39 record, 4½ games ahead of the Grand Rapids Chicks, but lost to the Kalamazoo Lassies in the first round series. Crites went 0-for-3 in a playoff game.〔(1953 Fort Wayne Daisies )〕〔''All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Record Book'' – W. C. Madden. Publisher: McFarland & Company, 2000.

She died in 1990 in Phoenix, Arizona, at the age of 56.〔(Bollinger County, Missouri Genealogy – Shirley L.
