Lillian DeCambra (November 21, 1925 – October 1, 2003) was an American infielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 2", 102 lb., DeCambra batted and threw right handed. Her eldest sister, Alice DeCambra, also played in the league.[1] [2]
Born in Somerset, Massachusetts, DeCambra played basketball and ice skating at a young age,[3] and later she showed her interest in softball. She was assigned to the Fort Wayne Daisies in 1947, but never played a regular season game.[2]
Lillian joined her sister Alice at spring training games held at Havana, Cuba. Afterwards, she played in exhibition games with the Daisies before the start of the season.[1] [2]
The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988, that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.[4]
Lillian DeCambra died in 2003 in Somerset, Massachusetts, at the age of 77.[1]
