Bio
Before the unification of Middle Earth's racially segregated leagues into the SGCBL, "Goldie" was a star player with the elven teams around Rivendell. She was slugging homers for a hundred human years before becoming the 1st pick for the Mordor Mimes in 2003. She started off with a bang, hitting a homerun on the first day of the new league's schedule. She went on to play in the first All-Star Game and to win the first Aragorn MVP trophy for the Mordor Conference, hitting .320 with 46 HR and 114 RBI.
But the Mordor club changed management in 2004, and the new owners traded her to Bree at the end of the season. It was as a member of the Cheese where she made her mark as a truly great hitter, winning two Batter of the Month awards, playing in her third All-Star Game, and finally winning both the Sam Gamgee Batter award and the Aragorn MVP for the Shire Conference, while hitting .326 with 44 HR and 142 RBI.
More awards would follow, and on April 6, 2007, she drove in 8 runs against Bucklebury.
Finally, age comes even to elven maidens, and after an injury in June of 2007 sidelined her for the rest of the season, Bree ownership decided to release her. She signed a contract with her old team (now renamed the Minas Morgul Slayers) for the 2008 season, but her skills had deteriorated to the point where she was released by Minas Morgul before the season was under way.
