Replacing Jennie Finch, California dream-in come true

I hope you all had a chance to read the recent article about Jennie Finch and Kristina Thorson. I got the idea to write something up because while the Bandits were on the road, the mood in the front office was, 'now is the time to act,' about tickets, promotions, and other exciting things we were trying to finalize for our July series.

In the spirit of being proactive, I thought about what the Bandits as an organization can think about with regards to eventually replacing Jennie Finch when she retires whenever that may be. She has been an awesome part of softball and the Bandits, and I thought it would be interesting to talk about having a plan in place for a new face of the organization for the future. I had a really nice talk with Kristina Thorson who had great things to say about Jennie, and she talked about what the Bandits need to do to increase exposure about her and the team (and the sport!)

If you get a chance to come out to one of our upcoming games (July 5, July 15-19) in July, I know that she'd be more than willing to say hi and sign autographs after the game, alongside all of her fantastic teammates!
