Description

Dot Richardson, M.D., would not let prejudices against women stand in her way. She became an Olympic gold-medal shortstop in an era when people said, "Girls don't play baseball." When few women held the title "Doctor," Dot became an orthopedic surgeon. Today she leads a thriving fitness and health center business and is one of only a handful of women holding top positions in corporate America. When Dot set her sights on a goal, she would Go For It!
The Dot Richardson doll is shown here in her USA softball uniform complete with visor and cleats. Her uniform has embroidered USA on the front and her name and number on the back. Dot is accompanied by a Louisville Slugger® bat and a soft ball both with Dot's signature.
In the accompanying book, Dot tells in her own words what it was like to be denied the chance to play and how she dealt with that rejection. Listen to her suggestions for "being yourself," for "finding your passion," for "following your dream."
It is for an 8 year old and up reader with 140 pages and color photos.
We have been awarded a Dr. Toy "Smart Play Smart Toy" seal of approval!

About Dot Richardson "Helping people as a doctor is like receiving a gold medal every day." That's how Dr. Dot Richardson ties together her life as star softball player and orthopedic surgeon. "I love surgery," she said. "It's like playing sports. It's a challenge. In the operating room, it takes a team effort to perform the best for the person who has entrusted their life to you." Dot worked hard at being the best softball player and doctor she could be. She threw, batted, and caught softballs all through elementary and high school; through college and medical school. While a doctor in residency, she'd often work 20-hour shifts at the hospital and then go to the softball field to practice. Her dedication brought her awards in college, world championships and the Pan American games. In 1996, Dot became the first woman to hit a home run in the Olympics. She also hit two others, including one in the final game. As she stood with her USA teammates to receive the Olympic gold medal, Dot's lifetime dream had come true. But she wasn't finished. Soon Dot was back at work at the hospital. Was she unhappy? Not at all. "Medicine is very fulfilling to me," she said, "because I am able to help people. And nothing satisfies me more." Four years later Dot led the USA team to another gold medal in the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Today she is the Director and Medical Director for the USA Center for Sports and Health in Clermont, Florida. What advice does Dot offer young girls? You will succeed in sports, schoolwork, a career, and anything you do, when you try "to be the best that you can be."
