[1][2] Like many players, Pat Brown had a brief career in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League because she felt that the schedule was demanding and the continuing trips interfered with her studies.

She then went on to obtain four degrees and be listed in four different Who's Who directories for her accomplishments during a law librarian career that spanned forty years of dedicated service to Suffolk University in Boston.

[4] Brown started playing sandlot ball at an early age with her brothers Joseph Jr., Thomas and Alan and their neighborhood friends.

Under the direction of Ellen Kiernan, she was a member of the field hockey team that played outside schools for the first time since before World War II.

But Comets manager Johnny Gottselig felt she had control issues and need refinement, so she was sent to the Chicago Colleens development touring team.

[1][9] Brown attended Suffolk University during the off-season, but when the college would not release her early in order to play and the league would not allow her to report late in the season, she opted to quit baseball and decided to concentrate on her studies.

Then, in September 1990, she was invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a Boston Red Sox home game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Fenway Park.

She was joined in the ceremony by Patricia Courtney, Maddy English and Mary Pratt, other Massachusetts residents who played significant roles in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

She also was honored at the dedication of the Suffolk University girls' basketball team first home game in their new gym in February 1991, and was inducted in the First Annual Winthrop High School Hall of Fame in March 1997.

[4][5] By 1993, she spent over a year working with the New England Sports Museum to organize an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League display.
