The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954, but there is now a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988 that honors those who were part of the league. Donna Mae, along with the rest of the girls and the league staff, is included at the display/exhibit.[3]
