Springfield Woman Gets Phillies Ballgirl Nod

What you see on the field is only a small part of the job.

Springfield's Marcia Fitzpatrick will be on the field and appearing around the community as a returning member of the Phillies Ballgirl team.

According to an article posted on the Delaware County Times website in January 2012, Fitzpatrick is a graduate of the Agnes Irwin school and a Fashion Industry Management Student at Philadelphia University.

The Phillies say that outstanding softball skills on the field are only a part of the job. The Ballgirls team manager says representing the Phillies at events all over the Delaware Valley is an even bigger part of the job.
