Lillian Luckey (born May 9, 1919) is a former pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 1", 126 lb., she batted and threw right handed.[1][2]

Born in Niles, Michigan,[1] Lillian Luckey joined the All American League in its 1946 season. She was assigned to the South Bend Blue Sox club and appeared in eight games for them.[2]

She posted a 2-4 record with a 3.44 ERA, allowing 37 runs - 21 earned - on 51 hits and 48 walks, while striking out 10 through 54 innings of work.[3] As a hitter, she went 2 for 15 for a .133 batting average.[3]

The All American 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.[4]
