This seems like as good an excuse as any to run some pictures of former Arizona Wildcats All-American Jennie Finch.
The pitching star remains one of the most visible UA alums, a cross-cultural phenom and mother of three who remains active promoting softball and being a role model to girls all over the nation at camps and clinics.
And how’s this for a fun few days:
She competed in the Aquaphor New York City Triathlon on Sunday (you can read her account of it at ESPN.com), appeared in the Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game at Citi Field later that day … and then she walked the red carpet in Los Angeles at Wednesday night’s ESPY Awards, hobnobbing with sports’ biggest stars.
Never a dull moment.
Finch and husband Casey Daigle have three children — 7-year-old Ace, 2-year-old Diesel and their first girl, Paisley Faye, who was born on Jan. 12.
