Abby's family lives in Grand Rapids, MI. They do manage to fly in from time to time and see lots of games. We are glad to have seen them at lots of games and hope to see them at many more. She has 1 older sister and 1 older brother and enjoys hanging out with her family when she is at home.
What you don't know about Abby is.... that she loves Pizza as her favorite food. She loves so many movies that she cannot pick one. Her favorite musical artist is the Dave Matthews Band. Her favorite TV show is How I met your mother. Her favorite place to vacation is the Caribbean. She loves to travel, and experience new things, and spend time with friends and family in Michigan. If you are a die hard fan - you would know that Abby played second base her freshman and sophomore year at Messiah and switched to catcher last season - which is amazing b/c of her all - conference honors and all tournament honors in the National Championship! Great job Abby.
Her most embarrasing moment was her freshman year when she threw the ball to the field umpire thinking he was her teammate!!!! Her favorite quote is - "those who stay will be champions." - Bo Shembehler
