The Chicago White Sox Draft Carey Schueler the First Woman Drafted in MLB

Carey Schueler, daughter of then Chicago White Sox General Manager Ron Schueler, was the first woman ever drafted by a Major League Baseball team when the White Sox picked the 18-year old left-handed pitcher in the 43rd round (1208th pick overall) of the 1993 MLB draft.

Up until that time she had been a basketball star at Campolindo High School in Moraga, CA. The pick was largely considered a publicity stunt and Schueler never ended up signing with the team. She attended and played basketball for DePaul University before transferring to St. Mary's College of California, where she continued to play until an injury in 1996.

In 2002, Schueler was rumored to be a contestant for Survivor: Thailand. Despite the rumors, she never appeared on the show.
