Jennie Finch
Jennie Finch was born on September 3, 1980, in La Mirada, California and grew up in a close knit family. She is the youngest of Doug and Bev Finch's three children. Family is important to Jennie and she credits them for much of her success. Jennie's dad, Doug, spent countless hours working with Jennie over the years. Jennie's mom is a huge Dodgers fan, and between her love of baseball, Doug's infinite patience and devotion, and Jennie's two older brothers who loved to play, Jennie grew up a true blue Dodgers fan with a passion for baseball. She was excited when just after her fifth birthday her parents signed her up for her first t-ball league. She couldn't wait to play just like her brothers, but this was even cooler because girls were doing it.She had changed the whole game of softball. She inspires young women and little girls do have a purpose in sports. With her strikeout pitch, she is one of the fastest pitches girls to ever pitch in the league. She has inspired me and many other girls out there to keep playing softball and to follow our dream. Striving to become the best has motivated her and she has motivated me to play harder than I have ever been before.
