Wearne was selected from a group of fabulous sportswomen past and present and was honoured at the annual Sports Women’s Ball on 27th February 2013.
Wearne is an eleven time Australian representative and Baseball Australia’s only female in the Hall of Fame.
In addition to being the only female, Wearne (31) is also the youngest member to ever be inducted into Baseball Australia’s HOF.
As a player Wearne is Australia’s most decorated female baseballer at the domestic and international levels. She was joint tournament MVP at the Women’s World Series in 2002 and the ABF Female Player of the Year in 2008 and 2009.
