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.

Got any pitches? I got five pitches-rise-ball, curveball, screwball, drop-ball and changeup.

Seeing women on television was very important to me. It opened my eyes to the possibilities of women's sports. It showed me what I could do and who I could be.

Right now in my career, it's like I'm having more fun than I've ever had, so it's kind of like, 'Man, I can't stop now.'

I really like Dontrelle Willis' pitch; he's animated on the mound and is fun to watch - he gets into the game emotionally.

When you train six to seven hours a day to be the best in your sport, you don't want that to be overlooked. I don't train for my looks.

Dad was the pitching coach, while Mom was the emotional supporter. Her unconditional love was great, and she wanted what was best for me.
