Jane Moffet AAGPBL - February 25th, 2016 Jane Moffet (born July 2, 1930) is a former utility who played from 1949 through 1952 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), 151 lb., Moffett batted and threw right-handed. She was born in Pitman, New Jersey.
Jane Moffet was one of the 15 players born in New Jersey to join the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in its 12-year history. She was among the most versatile players in the late years of the circuit, being always ready to catch and play at first base and the outfield. She made the league by mistake and ended playing for four different teams in part of four seasons. In 1949, Moffet was a freshman at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania when she was dragged to a AAGPBL tryout at Allentown by a classmate who did not want to go alone. More than 100 girls showed up. In the process, Moffet offered her assistance to league executive Lenny Zintak by fielding balls and helping in any way she could. Zintak, the league advance man who was charged with player development for the All-Americans, asked her why she was not trying out, then told her to grab a bat and demonstrate her skill. She left that day with a contract in her hand, but her friend did not make the league. I really felt badly about that, Moffet recalled in an interview.
