and pitched for seven different Major League clubs in a span of 14 seasons from 1903 to 1916, gaining induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1949. Brown was nicknamed Three Finger, a moniker that he proudly used throughout his life. Moore was aware of that and felt better. Therefore, the injury did not stop her from going to spring training four months later. The determined Moore practiced with the Belles at training camp but team officials decided she was not ready to start the 1951 season. Towards the end of the season, she got a call to join the team when its lineup was depleted due to injuries. She appeared in a few games and retained her rookie status. She became a regular in 1952, but her injured hand hindered her development. Then, during the midseason she sprained her right ankle while sliding into second base and her season was over. Moore was offered a contract to return to following season but she decided not to go back to the league. Moore was disappointed by her limited playing time due to her injuries, as she explained in an interview with historian W.C. Madden. It was a hard decision because she loved to play baseball. Moore hit .148 (13-for-88) with a .306 OBP and one double in 42 games for Battle Creek, driving in one run and scoring 11 more while stealing five bases. Afterwards, Moore worked for AT&T for 35 years before retiring in 1989. She then enjoyed bowling, and playing golf and softball, as well as participating in AAGPBL Players Association activities. The All-American League folded at the end of the 1954 season, but since 1988 there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York that honors the players and the league staff rather than any individual figure.
