When I was a kid, I dreamed of using a bat with my own name on it.
Jennie Finch
I'm a role model for lots of young girls.
Jennie Finch
My family vacations were softball tournaments.
Jennie Finch
For softball, we need the Olympics. For young girls dreaming of that Olympic dream, that's where it's at, and that's where it all started in '96 for our sport.
Jennie Finch
I still think there are some pitches in this pitching arm, so I will continue playing with USA Softball, but knowing that this could be the last time a softball player stands on the Olympic podium and has the opportunity of experiencing this - it was emotional.
Jennie Finch
You're not going to get off the couch and be at some amazing fast pace or burn crazy amounts of calories, but you have to start somewhere Eventually, you'll get there.
Jennie Finch
The whole sexiness thing-I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. But it has helped the sport grow. I think it changes how people see women's athletics.
Jennie Finch
When I was 12, I had a coach tell me I would never be a championship pitcher. That devastated me. I was crushed.
Jennie Finch
Got any pitches? I got five pitches-rise-ball, curveball, screwball, drop-ball and changeup.
Jennie Finch
Never limit yourself, never be satisfied, and smile-it's free!
Jennie Finch
I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me.
Jennie Finch
A macho attitude is totally to my advantage. Guys try to hit it 400 feet out of the park, but in softball you have to use a short, quick swing. Big, huge swings equal big, huge strikeouts.
Jennie Finch
I really like Dontrelle Willis' pitch he's animated on the mound and is fun to watch - he gets into the game emotionally.
Jennie Finch
Softball has given me so much in life. It's taught me the kind of person I want to be, and given me a sweet sisterhood. It even led me to my husband.
Jennie Finch
Dad was the pitching coach, while Mom was the emotional supporter. Her unconditional love was great, and she wanted what was best for me.
Jennie Finch
This whole career has been way more than I ever even imagined or dreamed.
Jennie Finch
When I lose, I take it very personally.
Jennie Finch
When I was growing up, softball had stereotypes along with other female sports. But society is definitely changing since the WNBA and WUSA. Muscles on female athletes are OK now. Young girls can look up to beautiful, athletic, fit women.
Jennie Finch
The attention I get has been great. It has opened so many doors for me. It's nice that people are accepting beautiful women as athletes. It's encouraging to girls that muscles don't mean you can't be beautiful.
Jennie Finch
Have unconditional love to your children no matter what happens. Give them time even in the midst of this busy life - be one on one with them.
