A female player primarily utilized as a gate attraction, she played second base with the Indianapolis Clowns in 1954, replacing Toni Stone, another female player. At this time the Negro League was no longer a quality organization. Before signing with the Clowns at age nineteen, she played five years with the North Philadelphia Honey Drippers, an all-girl baseball team, and finished with a .368 batting average to show for her tenure with the team. An all-around athlete, she played basketball in the off-season. Prior to signing with the Clowns, she attended John Bartrum High School and William Penn Business School in her hometown.
