BIO:

Like most Senior players, Jan Worley’s 52-year softball career began at the “open” level.  When she was only 13, Jan was already playing with national champion Rutenschroer Florist against some of the best competition in the nation.  Rutenshroer won back-to-back ASA Metro titles in 1967 and ’68, and went on to place 3^rd and 4^th, respectively, in National Tournament play.  After continuing her career with Riverside Ford, the Cardinals and Jake Sweeney in the seventies, and then Empress Chili in the eighties and nineties, Jan found her way onto the Ohio Cardinals senior team in 1999.  Since that time, she has been part of over twenty World Championship teams and a Gold Medalist in five Senior Olympics.  Her individual honors include six All-World selections and being named as the Outstanding Defensive Player in the 2011 SPA World Tournament.  A 3^rd baseman with a lifetime .550 average, Jan was named to the Greater Cincinnati All-Century team in 2000.  In 2012 she was part of the Ohio Cardinal team that was inducted into the Ohio Senior Olympics Hall of Fame, and was also named Senior Sportswoman of the Year by the Women’s Sports Association.
