Josephine Hasham

Josephine "Feena” Hasham (November 10, 1924 – October 15, 2008)[1] was a pitcher who played from 1948 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

[2] A native of Brockton, Massachusetts, Hasham spent seven years in the AAGPBL, pitching in 179 games while collecting a 3.15 career earned run average.

[2] Hasham debuted in 1948, but did not win a game while dividing her playing time between the Muskegon Lassies and the Peoria Redwings.

She earned the respect of Blue Sox manager Dave Bancroft, who included her in a pitching staff headed by Jean Faut, Ruth Williams, Lillian Faralla and Louise Arnold.

For the second time she led the league in losses, but helped herself with the bat by hitting a .241 average (27-for-62) with one home run and 13 RBI in 62 games.
