Congratulations to longtime favorite Abby Ramirez on being named Softball Head Coach at St. Laurence High School in Chicago. Actually, first, congratulations to Abby Ramirez-Battaglia on her fairly recent marriage.
A Chicago area native, Abby starred at the University of Michigan. She was a three-time Big Ten champion, three-time All-Big Ten selection and a member of Michigan’s 2015 national runner-up team. After Michigan, she joined the Chicago Bandits, and later Athletes Unlimited. All told, she spent seven seasons playing pro softball.
She began her coaching career as an assistant at Northwestern, before moving on to DePaul. It was always great seeing her at those games.
It will be sad not seeing Abby at DePaul, but the good news for us fans is St. Laurence is not too far on the south side of Chicago. Looks like I will cover my first high school softball game. That is the type of respect I have for Abby. I can't let a season go without a quick catch up.
I wish Abby a lot of success at St. Laurence. I'll miss her at DePaul, but I appreciate all of her kindness over the years. I am sure I will see her again though.
Abby Ramirez and me in Rosemont, IL-Summer 2017.
