Toni Stone (July 17, 1921 – November 2, 1996), born as Marcenia Lyle Stone in West Virginia,[1] was the first of three women to play professional baseball full-time for the Indianapolis Clowns, in the previously all-male Negro leagues.[2][3][4] This also made her the first woman to play as a regular on an American big-league professional baseball team.[5][6] A baseball player from her early childhood, she went on to play for the San Francisco Sea Lions, The New Orleans Creoles, the Indianapolis Clowns, and the Kansas City Monarchs before retiring from baseball in 1954.[1][
