Pat Scott

Patricia "Pat" Scott (July 14, 1929 – October 19, 2016)[1] was a pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League for parts of four seasons spanning 1948–1953.

She guided the Fort Wayne Daisies to three consecutive pennants from 1951 to 1953, averaging 16 wins in each of them, while recording career best numbers in ERA (2.46), WHIP (0.87) and SO/BB (1.07).

"[5] Scott hurled and won an 11-inning complete game in her rookie season, helping the Sallies to a victory by recording a pair of singles, a double and one home run.

[5][6] After two years of absence, Scott renewed her passion for baseball after joining the Fort Wayne team.

In addition, she won a one-run, pennant-winning game against the Rockford Peaches, which represented the first single season title in Daisies history.

[7][9] About her relation with Foxx, Scott confirmed that he had a drinking problem, but he never let it affect his managing on the field and was a true gentleman around the ladies.

Fort Wayne, with Bill Allington at the helm, clinched his third consecutive title and played third place Kalamazoo Lassies in the first round, being beaten for the third year in a row with identical margin of 1–2.

[7][10] In 1954, Scott could not pass up an agricultural examination to attend college in Europe as a student exchange program participant.

She later started to score big points as a woodcarver, creating a variety of topics, including a carousel horse head, busts, ornaments, and several decorative items.
