Description: An All-Star catcher, Paire was a fine defensive player with good range on the field and a strong throwing arm. She exhibited an aggressive catching style, leading to a broken collarbone in her rookie season. She suffered numerous injuries thereafter, but kept on playing. Basically a line-drive hitter, she had a compact swing and tremendous plate discipline, collecting a significant 2.63 walk-to-strikeout ratio (308-to-117). A lifetime .225 hitter she made good contact, hitting safely more frequently with runners on base or when the team was behind in the score, as her 400 runs batted in ties her in fourth place with Elizabeth Mahon on the all-time list, behind Dorothy Schroeder (431), Inez Voyce (422) and Eleanor Callow (407). In addition, the versatile Paire played shortstop and third base, and even pitched. She also was a member of a championship team and made the playoffs in nine of her ten seasons. Paire also coauthored the Official Song of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League along with Nalda Bird. The theme, named Victory Song, was popularized in the 1992 film A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall and starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell and Lori Petty. Most of her signings were personalized to the buyer, however this book is autographed in three places without personalization, as can be seen in the photos.
