Constance Enola Morgan (October 17, 1935 – October 14, 1996) was the third woman to play professional baseball in the Negro league.
A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Morgan attended John Bartram High School and William Penn University.[1][2] She joined the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro American League in 1954, playing second base under Baseball Hall of Fame skipper Oscar Charleston. She replaced Toni Stone, who had been the first woman to compete in the league, and who had been traded to the Kansas City Monarchs prior to the season.[2] Morgan played with the Clowns through 1955. Before her tenure with the Indianapolis, she played for five seasons with the North Philadelphia Honey Drippers, an all-women baseball team, batting .368 in that time.[1][3]
