Celebrity Jersey Cards: #774 Abby Ramirez & Kristyn Sandberg

Celebrity Jersey Cards is a weekly series featuring celebrities wearing sports jerseys. Today, I feature two of my favorite former Chicago Bandits pro softball players.

Chicago area native Abby Ramirez starred at the University of Michigan before joining the Chicago Bandits. A key player on the championship teams, Abby started her coaching career while playing. After National Pro Fastpitch ended, Abby went on to play foe Athletes Unlimited. Currently, she is an assistant coach at DePaul with a bright future. I cannot compliment Abby enough for her talents or her friendship. She is truly is a class act. Her Celebrity Jersey Card, which includes Chicgo Cubs mascot Clark, comes from her big day at Wrigley Field. Among other things, Abby sang the 7th inning stretch. 

New York native Kristyn Sandberg starred at Georgia before playing professionally in the NPF. Chicagoans were happy to have Kristyn end her career here, but we wish it was under better circumstances. Kristyn has battled foot injuries for years and never quite came back healthy. Still, one of my greatest thrills was taking batting practice of of her. She is currently a coach at Hofstra. Her Celebrity Jersey Card apparently comes from a Christmas gift of her favorite team's jersey. Kristyn is as tough as they come and a pleasure to know.
