"It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come." ― Jennie Finch Topic(s): Sports More From Jennie Finch "And my dad drilled it in my head, you know, ‘If you want it bad enough, and you’re willing to make the sacrifices, you can do it. But first you have to believe in yourself." "Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball."

That drives me more crazy than anything else. Like, don’t pretend to be a sports fan."― Jerry Ferrara "Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports."― Jeff Garcia "About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure."― Tommy Lasorda
