09.05.2004:Jennie Finch Fastball Earned Olympic Gold and Endorsements
Sunday, September 5, 2004 at 20:44 Jennie Finch already is approaching over $1,000,000 in endorsements, but she will not be posing for any photographs. The star pitcher with the 71 mile per hour fastball led the U.S. Olympic Softball team to gold at Athens 2004.
From the Michelle Kaufman article
in the Miami Herald:
"Finch, a 23-year-old Californian, has turned down offers to undress for Playboy, Maxim and other magazines. She is a devout Christian, engaged to Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Casey Daigle, and not really interested in being a sex symbol.
"I'd rather not pass judgment on other athletes, but my personal decision would be not to do that," said Finch, always the diplomat. "Muscles on women are beautiful, but I love being a role model for young girls and I have more to lose than gain (by exposing skin)."
