Description
Helen Walulik [Kiely] was a pitcher and an outfield/infield utility who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5 ft 8 in, 121 lb, she batted and threw right-handed.
Helen Walulik was a versatile player with three different teams for two seasons in the league and spent one year as touring player for development teams.
Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Walulik was one of seven children of Polish immigrants, Michael and Veronica Walulik. She graduated from Plainfield High School, where she had the chance to play basketball and softball for three years. As a result of her accomplishments she was named Best Female Athlete for the class of 1947. In addition to school sporting events, she played both sports for two years with the Plainfield Bobby Sockers and another two years with the Perth Ambey Cardinalettes.
Though she was primarily an outfielder, Walulik was a solid utility player, serving as spot starter and long reliever when not playing at second base.
?Hensky?, as her teammates called her, entered the league in 1948 with the Muskegon Lassies, playing for them briefly before joining the Fort Wayne Daisies during the midseason.
