  1. Tricky questions, those. Well, I found them difficult anyway - only got two, sums up my quizzing prowess (or lack thereof).

  2. While Jennie Finch had played some baseball as a gimmick, she is pretty much known for being the best softball pitcher of all time, although Cat Osterman and Lisa Fernandez may have something to say about that, and so I think that the answer to #10 should just be softball.
