“How old do you think I am?” Abby Wambach asked an auditorium filled with 6 to 12-year-olds this morning before throwing out the first pitch at Citi Field. This was the World Cup Champion’s very last stop on her WWC victory media blitz before leaving for a much needed vacation, her bags packed and ready to go by the door. The kids in attendance at the Citi Kids event called out their guesses, ranging from 24 to 35 — the correct answer.
“I am soooo old,” she joked after revealing the truth. Wambach then asked the room if she should play in the 2016 Rio Olympics next summer.
