[1] Patricia Roy played a season in the league but her career was cut short after an insurance company refused to cover players under the age of 18.

[3] She grew up in Harlan, Indiana, near Fort Wayne, and participated in pick-up games and sandlot ball with the boys before joining an organized Pony League baseball team.

By that time, the Fort Wayne Daisies club was short of players and gave the young girl a chance to play.

After Weierman's injury, the insurance company hired by the league decided it not cover any girl under age 18.

[4] Following her graduation at Harlan High School in 1956, Roy enrolled at Ball State University and earned a bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education in 1960.

In addition, she was recognized nationally by the Women's Sports Foundation and the U.S. Olympic Committee, received the first Marian Archer Award and ICGSA Service Award from the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association, commissioned a Kentucky Colonel in 1993, and was named a Sagamore of the Wabash by the Governor of Indiana Evan Bayh in 1994.
