AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn softball coach Mickey Dean has a fan on a farm in Louisiana. A fan who happens to be the sport’s most recognizable ambassador: Jennie Finch.
A 2001 national champion at Arizona and 2004 Olympic gold medalist for Team USA, Finch and Dean first teamed up in 2005 when he coached and she starred for the Chicago Bandits in National Pro Fastpitch.
“I couldn’t be more excited for Coach Dean and the success he’s had over the years,” Finch said. “It’s just been such a thrill to watch and to be a part, and to cheer for him, from the Bandits to Radford and JMU, the success he’s had up there.
