Patricia Brown
FameRank: 5

"Patricia Irene Brown" was a pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 5", 135 lb., she batted and threw right handed.

Like many players, Pat Brown had a brief career in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League because she felt that the schedule demanding and the continuing trips interfered with her studies. She then went on to obtain four degrees and be listed in four different Marquis Who's Who/Who's Who directories for her accomplishments during a law librarian career that spanned forty years of dedicated service to Suffolk University in Boston.

Born in Winthrop, Massachusetts, Patricia was the youngest of four children in the family of Joseph and Harriet (née Taylor) Brown. While growing up, she had two dreams: to play baseball and to attend college. She was told she could not play baseball because she was a girl and could not attend college because she had no money. Nevertheless, she achieved both of these dreams.
