Lillian Ann Luckey (July 9, 1919 – December 13, 2021) was an American baseball pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5inchesft1inchesin (ftin), 126lb, she batted and threw right handed.[1] [2]
Born in South Bend, Indiana on July 9, 1919,[3] 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.[2]
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.[4] As a hitter, she went 2 for 15 for a .133 batting average.[4]
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.[5]
In July 2008, it was reported that Luckey still played golf twice a week at the age of 89.[6] She died in Niles, Michigan, on December 13, 2021, at the age of 102.[3]
