  Besides being one of the most gorgeous players ever, I think you are one of the best I have ever seen. I'm always amazed watching you pitch. You are a perfect example of form,grace,beauty, and power. I have watched you whenever I knew your games were televised for years now. You are the one responsible for my loving to watch womens softball. I just wish all your games were televised and promoted more. I live in Kentucky. I don't know if you ever play around here, but I would definitely be there to watch. Good luck with team usa. Keep up the great playing. I wish you success in every part of your life. From a lifelong loving fan, Glenn Brucchieri.

  Hi Cat! It's Caitlin, I don't know if you remember me, but you signed an autograph for me when I saw you at the college world series. I guess it would be stupid to say I was the one with the Longhorns sweatshirt. I'll be at the Bowie game this Saturday and I just wanted to wish you good luck ahead of time!!!

  Hey Cat! It's Becca and Bre. A couple of weeks ago I, Becca, went to one of the games in your Bound 4 Beijing tour. It was in Liberty Park and you played Alabama. You do not know how excited I was! Bre really wanted to go but she couldn't. I sat by Whtiney Larson and Kelsy (She was the pitcher) moms. Kelys mom told me yall were partnered toghter and were buddies or something! I LOVE SOFTBALL AND TO PITCH! I love to watch you play.
  Thanks!, Becca and Bre!

  Cat, living in South Dakota my whole life I never thought I'd get the chance to see you play. When I heard you guys would be stopping here on the Bound for Beijing tour I was literally shocked. I would absolutely love to meet you, you have been my idol for so long. I was just wondering if you planned on being available at all while in Rapid City. I'll be at the game cheering you on. Thanks for making a dream come true.

  I was at the Washington Glory game and sat over the USA dugout. It was quite a thrill to see you and the rest of the team live after following you on TV. All of you make the rest of us proud to see you representing us on the international stage. You epitomize good sportsmanship and athletic excellence.

  You pitched an awesome game against the Washington Glory at Bowie. I stood in line to try to get your autograph, and got really close to getting it but they called that time. I was obviously disappointed but it was at the least amazing enough just to watch you pitch. Good luck at beijing!

  I never cared much for softball even though we were nearly neighbors (my daughter graduated from Langham Creek 2002) [grin]. Somewhere along the line, I saw you on ESPN pitching for U.T. in the World Series. I was amazed at what you could do with a softball and then I realized that everyone on the field was doing amazing things. (I was very sad that you didn't make it to the top that year.) A few weeks ago, I found ESPN broadcasting one of the games on this tour and started paying attention. Drat! By the time I found out y'alls would be in Williamsport they said that Bowman field was sold out. My luck.

  Dear Cat: I caught your game against Michigan today. My son loved to watch you and would have been keep track of your pitching while he was in Iraq. Unfortunately, on Feb. 7, 2007, he was killed on his last flight. He was a Medi-vac pilot with the Marines. He loved your cool, collective demeanor. Good luck in Bejing. You represent the USA with all the qualities an American should possess. I wish Jared was able to watch the games with you at the helm. Laura Landaker

  Hey Cat, my daughter Brittany is your biggest fan. She is 10 years old and does nothing but talk about being as good as you. She has played softball for 3 years and in 10u she is one of the best left handed pitcher in our league. She wants to do what it takes to become as good as you are. If you have any pointers let her know please. We want so bad to make it to one of your local games.

  Hi! I just want to say that I am a huge fan. And I play softball too. But I am still in the minors and I play at a place called Conway little league. I recently got your bat and its awsome. Two days ago I hit a popfly with it and it went high into the air! It also made it into the outfeild. I love your bat. Oh and my number is 8 too. It was 8 ever since my first season. And I am a pitcher. I have a pitching coach named Dale. He said that before he met you at a training camp somewhere many years ago when you were 14. He was invited to help out with the coaching. And he saw you pitching and he started clocking you and he clocked your first 60 miles per hour.
