Born in Muskegon, Michigan, Bell served for the Women's Army Corps in Japan during World War II before joining the league with the Springfield Sallies in its 1948 season.[2]

Bell posted a 7.88 ERA in one pitching appearance and did not have a decision or save, allowing 10 runs (three unearned) on six hits and eight walks, while striking out four batters in 8.0 innings of work. As a hitter, she went 2-for-4 (.500 BA).[3]

After baseball, Bell moved to Many, Louisiana, where she spent the rest of her life.[2]

The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988, that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.[4]

Ginger Bell died in 1994 at the age of 66.[1]
