Keisha Philips

8

Kiesha Phillips, born April 2, nicknamed "Flash," "Shuga," and "Slugger," is a heavyset Black girl. She is by far the most athletic girl in the series and excels in almost every sport. Kiesha is known for her very short bat in Backyard Baseball, although she has a lot of power. Kiesha appears as one of the heavier-set characters in the series, and this helps her power in Backyard Baseball, which is consistently great. A masculine girl, Kiesha brags about her power in baseball and her great skills. She watches a lot of TV; she references vintage TV shows in her field chatter. In Football 2004, she says she has seen every episode of *Sanford and Son* and *Gilligan's Island*. Kiesha is also great at impressions. Kiesha is the neighborhood clown, but she takes her baseball pretty seriously. Her speed and coordination make her a logical choice for the outfield. One of the best outfielders in the league, Kiesha hits the ball hard and has a strong arm. And when she gets those legs pumping, this girl can speed around the bases. You can't go wrong with this kid on your team.
