Her last name until she was 18 was Pi, so she also, as a small child, thought Magnum PI was her relative.

pitch 109 = magic

I remember watching a game timmy pitched against the royals. He was in lots of trouble, about to come out of the game. Bases loaded I think, two outs, 3-2. Throws one low, aviles checks his swing, but the ump calls it a strikeout. Timmy escapes. Of course, they blew it later, but at the time, it was magical.
