==Early life==
Froning was born in Minster, Ohio, a tiny village located 54 miles (87 km) from Dayton, Ohio. At age 16, she enjoyed the life outdoors swimming, riding her bike, and eventually playing a Sunday softball game for a Catholic Youth Organization team, where she played at shortstop. An AAGPBL talent scout spotted Froning when she was playing an afternoon softball game. He saw that she had speed and a strong throwing arm and invited her to a tryout. Her parents took her to her first tryout, in South Bend, Indiana, because of her age. There were over 100 girls trying out for five roster spots in the local team, and Froning got one of them. A short time later, she received a contract offer from the South Bend Blue Sox. The offer was $50 a month and expenses. ''My dad and I looked at it''," she explained in an interview, ''and saw that it was for baseball, not softball''. She joined the team and her parents arranged for a room for her in a private home in South Bend. It was 1951, and the young girl was on her way to what she later called ''the most enjoyable four years of my life''.〔
