Gwen Svekis is another softball player who hung up her cleats after the last season with Athletes Unlimited. "OreGwen" will be missed on the field.
A product of the University of Oregon, Gwen became a Rosemont favorite during her time with the Chicago Bandits. A solid receiver behind the plate and an offensive threat at bat, Gwen was a great all-around player.
Off the field, Gwen found happiness with Taylor Edwards, another former Bandits catcher and AU mate. I couldn't be happier for them. They are two genuinely sweet people. I wish them a lifetime of happiness.
I thank Gwen for many years of great play on the field. I wish her great happiness in her playing retirement.
You can learn a bit more about Gwen, from On the Beat with Gwen Svekis, my interview with her from her time with the Bandits. Go to AUProSports.com for more info on all of their sport leagues. Also, check back here for my recurring coverage.
