Celebrity Jersey Cards: #747 Kate Ledecky & Helen Maroulis

Celebrity Jersey Cards is a weekly series in which I create virtual trading cards for celebrities wearing pro jerseys. I continue my season-long march through all MLB teams. 

Born in Washington, D.C. Katie Ledecky is the most decorated female swimmer in history and the most decorated American woman in Olympic history, with a total of 14 Olympic medals, including nine golds. A Stanford grad, Ledecky is still active and adding to her numerous records. It is cool to see a native DC'er toss a first pitch for the Nats.. That deserves a Celebrity Jersey Card.

A native of Rockville, Maryland, Helen Maroulis grew up to be a champion amateur wrestler. A holder of many records and medals, Maroulis she is the first American to win a gold medal in women's freestyle wrestling at the Olympics. Maroulis showed a power move in scooping up one of the Presidential mascots at a Nationals game. That feat of strength earned her a Celebrity Jersey Card.
