Florida Atlantic University’s softball coach Joan Joyce was the star of a public meet and greet event at the FAU Boca campus on Wednesday. Fans, friends, and even some faculty descended upon the student bookstore to speak with the local legend and purchase her newly penned biography.
Well-known to local residents as one of the most approachable celebrities around, she spent nearly two hours sharing stories and signing copies of Connecticut Softball Legend Joan Joyce.
The book, authored by fellow Connecticut native Tony Renzoni, chronicles Joyce’s fabled sports career from her humble beginnings in her hometown of Waterbury to her rise to international stardom as a softball player and LPGA tour golfer.
