Delores "Dolly" Brumfield White grew up in Prichard, Mobile County Alabama, where she played baseball before and after school with shipyard workers. At the age of 14 her principal gave her permission to quit school and attend spring training with the South Bend Blue Sox. Her parents consented to let her go, but only after the team gave assurances that she would be carefully supervised by the team's chaperone. Brumfield reported for spring training in Havana, Cuba in 1947. Dolly was fifteen years old when this photo was taken.
