Even no longer with us, Joan Joyce continues to give to the Sport of Softball.
The Brakettes of Stratford, Connecticut have announced a donation of $50,000 has been received posthumously from the playing and coaching legend. The funds will be used to kickstart the Brakettes Museum Fund. Joyce played for the greatest Women’s Major Fastpitch Team of all-time in the Raybestos Brakettes. She won 11 National Championships with the squad while throwing 105 no-hitters, 33 perfect games, and striking out 5,677 batters in 429 career wins in the circle. Joyce went on to great success as the head coach at Florida Atlantic after her competition days. She sadly passed on March 26, 2022.
