Listed at , 125 lb., Pearson batted and threw right-handed. She was nicknamed ″Dolly". During her seven-year tenure in the AAGPBL, Dolly Pearson moved around for a while, playing for seven different clubs in seven different cities as the league shifted players as needed to help weak teams stay afloat.
