Who was Maddy English?
Madeline Katherine English [Maddy] was a third basewoman who played from 1943 through 1951 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5 ft 4 in, 130 lb., English batted and threw right-handed. At age eighteen, she became one of the youngest founding member of the league.
English played all nine of her AAGPBL seasons with the Racine Belles. She anchored third base for the Belles and usually batted second in the batting order. A three-time All-Star, she helped the Belles win three pennants and two championships in the AAGPBL, by combining a sharp defense, opportune hitting, and a flashy base running.
