Lillian Luckey
Lillian Luckey is a former pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 1", 126 lb., she batted and threw right handed.
Born in Niles, Michigan, Lillian Luckey joined the All American League in its 1946 season. She was assigned to the South Bend Blue Sox club and appeared in eight games for them.
She posted a 2-4 record with a 3.44 ERA, allowing 37 runs - 21 earned - on 51 hits and 48 walks, while striking out 10 through 54 innings of work. As a hitter, she went 2 for 15 for a.133 batting average.
The All American League folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since 1988 that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.
As of July 2008, Luckey still played golf twice a week at the age of 89.
