Hate to See Her Go... But I'd Love to Watch Her Leave

I don't know what I love more, softball or watching Jennie Finch play it. There is just something about a six foot gorgeous blond that could strike me out on three pitches that gets me going. But sadly on Monday, perhaps the most dominant, and by far the hottest female softball player of all time hung up her Mizunos. Jennie Finch called it quits after mowing down batters for roughly ten years, from the University of Arizona, to the U.S. National Team, to the Chicago Bandits of the National Pro Fastpitch softball league. And not to mention making guys like me everywhere bite our lip wondering what's going on under that uniform. But it's definitely not all about looks, this girl can flat out rock and fire. At U of A she was a two time Player of the Year. In 2002 she set a record of 60 straight victories, spanning nearly two full season and including thee straight wins in the '01 College World Series. Oh yeah, she took home the Most Outstanding Player at that CWS. She finished her career with 119 total victories (12th all time) and recorded 1,028 strikeouts in her college career. That's a lot of whiffs. Her career ERA was 1.07. Needless to say, her number 27 has been retired by the Wildcats.

In 2004, the blond bombshell toed the rubber twice, taking the win in both appearances. She struck out 13 batters in eight innings, giving up only one hit, no walks, and no runs in leading the U.S. to the gold. Throughout her career on the U.S. National Team she pitched a total of 239 innings, giving up only 14 earned runs. That's a ridiculous ERA of 0.42. She had 397 Ks to only 36 walks and 71 hits.

Aside from softball, let's not forget how incredibly hot she is. I'm sorry this just can't be overlooked. It's like a mix of a Victoria's Secret Model and a decathlete. She beat out Anna Kournikova, who is not too shabby herself, as the most attractive female athlete. She has graced the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and has also been asked to appear in Maxim and Playboy, both of which she declined. What a shame.

I'm not sure that this was a necessary article, it gave me an excuse to post an over sized picture of this gorgeous chick on my blog. Enjoy... and hopefully she will re-think that Playboy thing. And if she is ever hurting for work, the Burgettstown Auto team of our local fastpitch league has an opening for a bat girl.
