Fan Casting Royanne in Peanuts Gallery

The first appearance of Royanne followed a storyline in which Charlie Brown scored his first run, leading his baseball team to victory for the first time. Royanne, who was the pitcher for the opposing team which Charlie Brown scored against, claims to be Roy Hobbs' great-granddaughter. Even later that summer, Royanne confesses that she let Charlie Brown hit those home runs because she liked him; Charlie Brown retaliates by informing her that "Roy Hobbs" is a fictional character, to which Royanne replies, "No! Please! Don't tell me that! My life is ruined!"
