Biography

Anita Marie Martini (March 3, 1939 - July 10, 1993) was an American sports journalist and broadcaster. She was the first woman to cover a Major League Baseball All-Star Game (1973) and the first female journalist allowed into a baseball locker room (after the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Houston Astros at the Astrodome to win the pennant in 1974). Her career began in 1965 and spanned both radio and television. She was the first woman in a major radio market to co-host a sports talk show (with Mike Edmonds, 1972-1979 and 1986-1991). She was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in 2015.
