 Meet the Hoop Historians

 

Growing up in an active and sports-minded family, Pat Irvine is no stranger to athletics, as her brother is former New York Yankees player and manager Billy Martin.  Pat is the President of the Oakland Bay Area Doll Club, and  annually attends the National Doll Convention with the United Federation of Doll Clubs.  Irvine is the past president and has been an active member of the Fratellanza Women's Italian Club for more than 40 years.  She has traveled to Hawaii as the group tour guide for many years.  Irvine currently volunteers with the "At Your Service" group that raises money to buy animals for the local area zoo and she also does work with the Oakland Museum.  A true Yankee at heart, Pat has been seen sitting in the George Steinbrenner's private box for the World Series.  She attended her first Final Four in 2000 and since attended twenty straight NCAA title games.  In 2009, Irvine took in her first Womens' NCAA tournament game, watching first round games in Berkeley, California.  Pat attended both the 1977 and 1978 World Series as a guest of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
