Born in Racine, Wisconsin,[1] Frances Lovett joined the All American League in its 1946 season. She was assigned to the Peoria Redwings club and made one pitching appearance for them.[2]
Lovett allowed 12 runs on 13 hits and two walks without strikeouts over seven innings of work, and was credited with the loss. As a hitter, she went 0 for 2 in two at bats.[2]
The league folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since 1988 that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.[3]
