Rauch has an athletic side to her and lists kickboxing, yoga, volleyball, spinning, and biking as her interests, but there was one sport in which she excelled as a child.

She told talkhumour.com: "I am pretty much highly mediocre at everything athletic related. Although, I was voted MVP of my little league t-ball (child's version of Baseball) team when I was six. For real, I was the only girl on the team and I was unstoppable. I got a trophy and a gift certificate to Chucky Cheese. "I was a force to be reckoned with; I don't know why they insist on you playing without a tee when you get older...it's absurd. If MLB allowed steroids at one point they should allow tees!"
