Sarah Lonetto

Sarah Lonetto (June 9, 1922 – April 24, 2009) played for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League between 1947 and 1949.

As a professional baseball player for the league, Lonetto threw right-handed and batted both right- and left-handed.

The two other teams Lonetto played for were the Muskegon Lassies (in 1948, 1949), with manager Bill Wambsganss and the Rockford Peaches.

She believes she earned herself the nickname Tomato from a friend who started calling her that, because she had a rather red complexion.

In 1988 she attended an AAGPBL reunion that took place at the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, New York.
