Betty Tucker

Eulah Elizabeth Tucker (January 28, 1924 – August 20, 2012) was a pitcher who played from 1946 through 1949 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

[1] A native of Detroit, Michigan, Tucker received an invitation in 1946 to participate in the AAGPBL spring training held at Pascagoula, Mississippi.

After a year in Peoria, Tucker opened 1947 with the Fort Wayne Daisies and then found herself on the move again, this time to the Rockford Peaches and then the Grand Rapids Chicks.

At the time, many AAGPBL players also joined the NGBL because of better salaries and in some cases for not being on the road as much was also important.

[2][4][5] 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 them.
