Fort Wayne Daisies
The Daisies represented Fort Wayne, Indiana, and their home games were played at North Side High School (1945–1946) and Memorial Park (1946–1954).
Early Daisy uniforms featured a circular emblem of the Fort Wayne city seal in the center of the chest.
In the final years of the league, the Daisy uniform changed to a center seam running down the middle of the dress with an F and W on the front.
With Helen Callaghan leading all hitters in 1945, the Daisies amassed six batting crowns to set a league record.
Other players of note included pitchers Jaynne Bittner, Maxine Kline and Dorothy Wiltse Collins; catchers Rita Briggs and Lavonne Paire; shortstop Dorothy Schroeder, center fielder Faye Dancer, and sluggers Wilma Briggs and Jean Geissinger.
