I’d probably watch it anyway. It’s sports and there’s UConn uniforms involved - I’m easily amused.

Anyone ever catch the Raybestos Brakettes back in the day? We lived nearby the stadium when we were kids they were a huge event. I remember seeing this woman pitch back then:

Pretty amazing to watch. Couldn’t believe how fast they could throw underhand.

Is there any chance I could have seen her in either the Hartford area or along the Shoreline in the mid-60s to 70s? I have very little recollection of being anywhere in coastal Fairfield County prior to 1977, but a sense that I saw her.Anyone ever catch the Raybestos Brakettes back in the day?

They are having a real nice season. 27-13, 14-2 in the BE. Coach Valentino seems to be turning the program around nicely.
Met her briefly at a travel tourney couple years ago while she was scouting. Got really good vibes (get your minds out of the gutter gents), not surprised to see her achieving some success. If my daughter was a little bit better, would have loved to have her go play for her & UConn.

The Meriden Falcons were formed after the Brakettes in the late 70s early 80s with Joan Joyce as well as many other star women’s professional softball players. Many of the stayed for the summer at the Holiday Inn in Meriden. I was a bell boy there, yep no joke lol. I got to know them even partied with a few on many given nights.

I root for all our teams! I still can't grasp the people on here who don't. The more athletic success from others, the better for the athletic program & the university.

Barbara Reinalda was also unhittable. If my memory is correct, I think she was the all time winningest pitcher in team history.
Those Brakettes teams were always a powerhouse.
Are they a team anymore ? I remember them changing there name to the Hi Ho Brakettes at one point in the 80’s.

I watched Joan Joyce pitch a shutout against a 10 man softball team with only 4 Brakettes. My father pitched softball for the Norwalk A&P team. When I was old enough I asked him to show me his pitches. The riser, a curve, and his favorite dipsy doo where he would nick it off his baggy pant leg! Joan Joyce was a special athlete. She was still coaching in Florida right up to the endAnyone ever catch the Raybestos Brakettes back in the day? We lived nearby the stadium when we were kids they were a huge event.

She was the female Eddie Feigner, King and His Court who I've also seen live when I lived in Ansonia, if memory served the game was in Derby.
