When I was 12, I had a coach tell me I would never be a championship pitcher. That devastated me. I was crushed.

I loved being on the field playing and teaching softball. I didn't like the fact that a camp had my name on it and I didn't know the logistics of what was going on. I wanted to make sure I was involved in a camp that did things right.

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
I don't want to be just a face. I want to go out there and prove something on the field.
