unusual facts about Fort Wayne Daisies



Helen Callaghan

The Millerettes could not compete attendance-wise with the Minneapolis Millers, so the team moved in 1945, becoming the Fort Wayne Daisies.

Jean Buckley

She went 4-for-4 with four RBI against the Fort Wayne Daisies in the third and decisive game of the first round, to back up a six-hit, 6–0 shutout by Migdalia Pérez and secure a spot in the best-of-five final series.

Mildred Earp

Earp, who led a formidable Chicks pitching staff that included Alice Haylett (19–11) and Connie Wisniewski (16–14), finished second in strikeouts to Fort Wayne's Dorothy Collins (244), second in winning percentage to Muskegon's Doris Sams (.733), and made her first and only All-Star Team.
