She's a fan, not a hooker

FOR SUSAN Finkelstein, sex and baseball have been intertwined in "dark and wonderful ways" since she knew they both existed.

Finkelstein was soaking in the bathtub years ago. Pitcher Larry Christenson was on her mind. Things happened, OK?

"I'm kind of an open person," she admits.

But she's not a hooker.

Yesterday, the state Superior Court overturned her March 2010 attempted prostitution conviction for allegedly offering sex to an undercover cop for tickets to the 2009 Phillies-Yankees World Series following her ill-conceived Craigslist post.

The arrest and international notoriety cost Finkelstein her job at the Wistar Institute. She hasn't been able to get a new one.
