Kristy and the Walking Disaster
They're lean, they're mean, they're the pride of Stoneybrook. Who are they? They're Kristy's Krushers. When Kristy sees how much her little brothers and sister want to play on a softball team, she starts a ragtag team of her own. Maybe Kristy's Krushers aren't world champions (how could they be, with Jackie Rodowsky, walking disaster, playing for them?), but nobody beats them when it comes to team spirit.
