A dozen of the 2013 ballgirls are students at area universities. Several work in medical fields, and one is an analytical development consultant.
Except for the twins, who are from Delaware, and one South Jersey member, the ballgirls are all from parts of Pennsylvania, with just one from Philadelphia.
