Don't miss it much, but of course I miss all the camera shots of Lovie.  You are such a genuine and kind person to mention how Lovie was over-looked.  It's all good and I'm happy to have met you and your family along the way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good Luck in whatever you do in life and hope to see you around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aloha, Minnie "mom"&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">gjung</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2009 00:10:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-5620794</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Cat i love u sooo much... ur my role model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">pitcher_21</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:01:37 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4528437</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Cat,&lt;br&gt;Just wanted to say hi and happy holidays.  My family met you at your clinic in New Jersey last month.  Kaitlyn (the 8 year old that shadowed you all weekend) is my daughter.  I just wanted to say thank you for spending so much time with her and being so kind to her.  You made such a wonderful impression.  You have been her idol since she was 5 but now she feels that you are her friend.  Since meeting you, she practices everyday without being asked and will hopefully be ready to pitch this spring for her team.  You are such a wonderful role model for young girls. We need more of you in this world.  Hope to see see you again soon.  Enjoy the holidays.&lt;br&gt;Peggy Riggio&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">kpkjriggio</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:10:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4435549</link><description>&lt;p&gt;My daughter and I are coming down to the Michele Smith camp again this year and I was wondering if you will be talking to the girls about what it takes to be a top-level pitcher.  My daughter is a huge fan!  She got to talk to you a little at last year's camp with Crystl and then again in Topeka, KS last summer.  She's 12 and will practice if I get her going, but doesn't do it on her own yet.  I'm sure if she heard from you what it takes to be good, it would mean much more than me trying to tell her.  Also, will you be talking about pitcher/catcher relationships?  I think that's something too many youth coaches overlook.  It seems like you and Megan Willis worked really well together.  We're looking forward to the camp and warm weather!  See you on the 28th!  Jim     &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">laurelsdad</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:02:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4402056</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Cat, well i went to the Lisa Fernandez pitching camp and i learned some new things that have helped me to pitch better=) when lisa was teaching me how to pitch better it really helped me and i was really getting better and i started to pitch kinda like you. like i was pitching faster and my ball had alot more movement=) i just cant wait untill i get to go to one of your pitching camps so i can actully meet you in person and get to be taught how to pitch better by you=) i know if i go to one of your pitching camps then i will be learning from the master of pitching cuz you are the BEST softball pitcher ever and and i really want to be taught by you on how to become a better pitcher=) you are my role model and i want to become an AWESOME and SUCCESSFUL softball pitcher just like you=)=)=) i really cant wait untill i get to go watch you and the rest of Team USA play cuz i have never gotten to watch you and Team USA play yet and i really want to go watch you pitch=)=)=) CAT YOU ARE MY ROLE MODEL AND I WANT TO GROW UP TO BE JUST LIKE YOU AND BE A GREAT SOFTBALL PITCHER LIKE YOU=)=)=) YOU ARE THE GREATEST SOFTBALL PITCHER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND YOU ALWAYS WILLL BE=)=)=) THE NATIONAL USA SOFTBALL TEAM IS THE BEST SOFTBALL TEAM EVER AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE=)=)=) CAT8 YOU ROCK AND I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU=)=)=)=)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;        YOUR #1 BIGGEST FAN IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, KENNEDY25 A.K.A KENI25=)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; P.S.

The possitions that I am most interested in and play are pitcher, shortstop, and catcher. Basically, where ever my coach wants me to play i'll addapt and i'll play the possition. My mother is signing me up for a camp that you and Jennie Finch are going to attend and help. There was more that she said; to many to even remember but I hope the camp will help me for High School. The condisioning, training, and I believe she mentioned pitching? I'm not sure but there was plenty or activities to choose from. Hope to see you at the signing porsion. Can't wait to get that famous autograph that I have been longing to post on my wall. I'm sounding obsesive compulsive right now, and I am sorry but I cannot help it. Hope to see your shinning face sometime. :]]&lt;br&gt;                                                                                           From,&lt;br&gt;                                                                                                 Allie Cram.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">alliebearr3</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:59:35 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4279665</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Cat, I live in a smaller town and our softball season goes from the end of May my through midst of July or sometimes first week of August. The point is that it is WWWAAAAYYYY to short of a season for me all though with me any season that isn't all year is too short.LOL! I am a softball maniack. I often say to my friends a day without softball is like a day without air. The other day my sister asked me what my favorite part of softball was. I didn't know at the time because I never really singled any part of softball out for being the best. I just thought that well. . . . SOFTBALL together was the best. Then I found an answer I told her the best part was that it is a CHALLENGE and I liked being with my friends. I told her it's the going through the challenges, winning and losing as friends as one big family, as . . . friends that made softball awesome. and the challenge of maybe being on a team with a person you may not like. it doesn't matter though when your on that field.   YOU AND YOUR TEAM MEMBERS are one. Over all SOFTBALL JUST PLAIN ROCKS!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">catsnumber1fan</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2008 21:35:35 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4223712</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, my daughter, Brianna and I saw you play at the Philadelphia Force game in Allentown,PA. She stood in line to get your autograph on her gym bag for over an hour.  Since she has had that bag, she has shown it off to everyone and she has cherished it.  Well, just last week, she had to leave it in her homeroom at school, and someone stole it.  We were hoping someone would turn it in, but no one has yet.  I was wondering if and where I could maybe send you a bag if you would sign it for her.  My daughter is 13 and an avid softball pitcher and hopes to one day follow your shoes, you are truly her idol in every way.  Is there any way I can make this Christmas dream come true for her by sending you a bag to sign again for her?  Thank you for your time!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">pitchersmom</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 06 Dec 2008 11:45:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4221845</link><description>&lt;p&gt;hey cat, i just wanna thank you for taking the time to sign a pic for me, i got it today&lt;br&gt;ups and i was soooo excited that my hands were shaking trying to open it, actually i have it sitting right here next to my computer. you are the greatest ever!!! do you have a best of dvd, you know pitching, interviews current pics etc that would be so awesome, i watch your pitching dvd almost everynight, noone can make a ball move like you do! please take care of yourself, especially with the flu season and busy schedule, you could get worn down, and sick. have fun at your pitching clinic on sunday. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">urawesome</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:05:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4218926</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Cat, im soooooooooo glad that i can finally write to you=) i just have been so busy with homework and softball of coarse=) and when i finally had time to write to you the other day my computer wouldnt work but we finally fixed it=)so im just glad to write to you and im also glad to hear that you are doing great=) tomorrow im just so excited cuz my softball team and i are gong to california to go play 2 friendly games with 2 other teams. then after the games im guna get to go to your former teammate Lisa Fernandez's softball camp=) i no its guna be soooo fun cuz i'll get to learn from a pitching master just like YOU=)=)=) but i really cant wait until i get to go to one of your softball pitching camps cuz i will get to meet you and learn from you and i know that i will become an even better softball player and pitcher cuz you are the BEST softball pitcher in the whole entire universe=)=)=) Cat you are the BEST softball pitcher and i want to be just like you when i get older=) hopefully when they put softball back in the olympics in 2016 i will  make it on the USA Softball Team as a GREAT softball pitcher like you and get to play with you on the USA Softball Team=) that is like my BIGGEST DREAM EVER and i no i have the determination and the hard-working skills to achieve my dream=)=)=) hopefully i will get to go watch you and the USA Softball Team play and actully get to watch you pitch=)=)=) when you start playing again im guna go watch you play and i cant wait=)=)=) CAT YOU ARE THE BEST SOFTBALL PICHER EVER AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE=)=)=) THE USA SOFTBALL TEAM IS THE BEST SOFTBALL TEAM EVER AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE=)=)=) YOU ROCK CAT#8!!!!!!!!=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;        YOUR #1 BIGGEST FAN IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, KENNEDY25=)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kennedy25</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Dec 2008 23:37:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4156880</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hey Cat!&lt;br&gt;I lovvvve you soooooooooooooo much!

If you truly want something then you work at it as often as you can. You do what you can to improve your self. I have always been told that winners always want the ball when the game is on the line and can handle the presure. I believe it too if you truly have the desire and the heart even if it means messing up you take the oppurtunity to prove your self and to get your feet wet.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">arish</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:08:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4078499</link><description>&lt;p&gt;hey did u retire from olympic softball if  it gets restated&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">texas2011</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 30 Nov 2008 22:01:06 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4077770</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Happy Thanksgiving...Hope all is going good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">KVTER</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:35:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, November 12, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/111208.html#comment-4065857</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Cat!

I just want you to be very careful in all your travels and don't push yourself to the point you make yourself sick. Take care and let us know how your Thanksgiving went when you have time to write. By the way the little Holiday Spirit thing on your mom's blog really brought a smile to my face on a day when things weren't going so well. Keep smiling and take care and GO LONGHORNS!
