Maybe this one is someone who should have been more famous than she was. Joan Joyce, head softball coach for Florida Atlantic, passed away over the weekend at 81.

She was one of the greatest female athletes in history. She was an amateur and pro softball pitcher for over a couple of decades, starting at age 14, with over 150 no-hitters and 50 perfect games, plus she struck out Ted Williams and Hank Aaron in an exhibition. She was a star volleyball and basketball player. She played on the LPGA tour for nearly 20 years and still holds some records. She was FAU's SB coach for nearly 30 years, half of which she was also the school's golf coach, and finished with just over 1000 wins.
