The best compliment I've gotten was being compared to Randy Johnson. We're both hard-throwing.

I just feel like it gets harder and harder every year with Ace getting older and time away from my husband and even family events such as birthdays and friends' weddings and things that I've always just missed out on because of softball.

The whole sexiness thing-I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. But it has helped the sport grow. I think it changes how people see women's athletics.

The attention I get has been great. It has opened so many doors for me. It's nice that people are accepting beautiful women as athletes. It's encouraging to girls that muscles don't mean you can't be beautiful.

My family vacations were softball tournaments.

I do my job on the mound and then do what I can at the plate, always working on helping the team anyway I can.

Whatever I am doing at that moment, I want to make the most of it.
