Thanks for posting the article. I hadn't seen it. We can add Michigan to the list of states where articles about the Pennsylvania pitcher appeared. Moyer's experience is similar to that of Alta Weiss, Myrtle Rowe, and the Basford sisters, Ruth and Irene of Bellevue, Ohio. All gained notoriety as female players on male teams in the early 1900s. Moyer and the Basfords (who were also pitchers) played on teams with siblings. Weiss was accompanied to games by her father and sometimes by her mother and sisters too. Neither Weiss nor Moyer ran the bases after they hit and both played in long skirts rather than bloomers. Weiss used her earnings to help fund medical school and it appears that Moyer had plans to use her earnings to pursue an education in music. I haven't been able to confirm whether she did or not. If anyone else has information (photos or articles) about Moyer, please send them my way. Thanks.
