Jennie Finch started playing softball at the age of five – developing a talent and a love for the game so strong, that it vaulted her to being a two-time Player of the Year and three-time All-American at the University of Arizona.

Finch also won two Olympics medals – a gold and a silver.  She has become the face of USA Softball, and not just because of her vicious windup and dominant pitching performances.  She’s also widely known as one of the most beautiful women in all of sports.
