Fort Fragments (Daisies): Ruth Hartman, Dottie Collins, Beatrice Kemmerer, Ruby Heafner

September 9th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

I have been watching some Fort Wayne Daisies headlines come though lately. Here’s a sample:

  • Breeder Played Pro Baseball: The York Daily Record (Pennsylvania) caught up with the former Daisies and Racine Belles infielder Ruth Hartman as she tended to the sheep she brought to the York Fair.
  • There’s Crying in Baseball: A nice post at Dinged Corners blog about Dottie Collins.
  • America Loses It’s All-American Girl: The Sporting News’ coverage of Dottie Collins.
  • A league of her own: The Plymoth Indiana Pilot catches up with Beatrice Kemmerer, who played one season with the Daisies before being sent home with a hurt ankle and ending up on the South Bend Blue Sox softball team the same year the team won its first of two league championships.
  • Four inducted into Gaston Sports Hall: Former Daisies, Ruby Heafner was recently inducted into the Gaston County Sports Hall of Fame (The Gaston Gazette – Photos).
