A special exhibit of "Women in Baseball" was unveiled and the entire league were recognized as special members of the Hall of Fame. "I appeared briefly in the scene inside the Hall of Fame at the exhibit," she said to an interviewer, "but you only get a glimpse of me. However, it was great getting together with all my former teammates."

Romatowski is one of only two women to have been inducted into the Wyandotte Sports Hall of Fame, and has also been honored with membership in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, NY., the Michigan Amateur Sports Hall of Fame, the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame and the Eastern Michigan University Hall of Fame.
