The pitcher was pretty hot as softball players go.

Fashionable endorser

Finch’s fashion sense influenced her endorsement deal with Mizuno, a softball equipment and apparel manufacturer that produces Finch signature lines.

The 23-year-old says she chose Mizuno so she could have more control over the designs of the clothing. She wants the line to include trendy sweatsuits. Finch is so into fashion she even named her dog Prada, after the internationally-known apparel line.

“I love makeup, I love clothes, I love shoes,” she told the Arizona Daily Star. “I’m the ultimate girl!”

Jennie Finch draws as much attention for her looks as her athletic ability.

Pretty as a pitcher

While Finch’s pitching earned her athletic accolades, her looks vaulted her into celebrity status. The blonde Finch joined baseball’s Alex Rodriguez and auto racer Dale Earnhardt, Jr., as the only athletes among People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” in the spring of 2004.

In 2003 she was voted ESPN.com’s “Hottest Female Athlete,” dethroning tennis player Anna Kournikova. Finch can also be seen on TV as a correspondent for ESPN’s “This Week in Baseball.”

Diamond from a Diamondback

Eight months after their first meeting, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Casey Daigle proposed to Finch. Daigle brought Finch to Hillenbrand Stadium, where Finch played with Arizona, and arranged for the lights to be turned on.

He led a blindfolded Finch to the pitching mound and presented her with a five-carat diamond ring. “You’ve been the queen of this town for four years,” he said. “Now I want you to be queen of my heart.”

The two were married on Oct. 30, 2004 and honeymooned in Bora Bora. Finch and Daigle, who now pitches for the Minnesota Twins, welcomed their first child, a son named Ace Shane, in May of 2006. Finch did not miss a season of softball due to pregnancy.
