Sashel Palacios still remembers how she felt when she met Abby Ramirez on the Chicago Bandits’ bus in 2018.
Palacios joined the Bandits of National Pro Fastpitch ahead of the 2018 season and met the team in Mankato, Minnesota. She sat behind the coaches toward the front of the bus and noticed Ramirez’s jovial conversation with teammate Emily Carosone. Palacios remembers peeking over her shoulder and laughing at what they were saying before formally introducing herself.
