[2] A native of Ardley, Alberta, Canada, Nicol has been catalogued by many as one of the greatest pitchers in AAGPBL history.
Nicol entered the AAGPBL in 1943 with the Kenosha Comets, playing for them through the 1947 midseason before joining the Rockford Peaches (1947–1952).
In 1947, according to new regulations, the AAGPBL pitchers were forced to switch from underhand to sidearm, and both the bases and the mound were pushed back.
After that, she won all four playoff games she pitched, including the pennant clinching victory, 4–2, over the Fort Wayne Daisies.
Fox rediscovered her previous form in 1949, going 13–8 with seven shutouts and a second-best 0.98 ERA, behind Lois Florreich (0.67) and over Jean Faut (1.10).
Fox, and another 63 women who represented Canada in the AAGPBL, gained induction into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.
