Softball star
pitcher Jennie Finch threw out the first pitch (overhand, by the way) at the
White Sox game Friday night and put in an appearance in the TV booth for a half
inning, during which time Jason Benetti asked the former Olympic gold medalist about
how she got interested in sports.
Growing up with brothers helped, and so did attending Dodgers’ games.
Finch said she
grew up wanting to pitch for the Dodgers.
Benetti could have but didn’t ask what it felt like when she first
realized that wasn’t going to happen. I
would have liked to hear what one of if not the most talented fast-pitch softball
player of all time had to say about that.
Oh, well, maybe next year.
