My recent trip to Chicago included a stop to see DePaul and Northwestern play softball. Although I have been a Northwestern fan for four years now, I have also been a Cat Osterman fan for even longer. Cat is now coach at DePaul, so the game was a double thrill for me.
I posted a comment (scroll down) on Cat Osterman’s blog Cat’s Corner today. I said:
Hi, Cat. I have been following your career since you were a Sophomore at Texas. I was travelling through Chicago and saw you had a game at Northwestern while I would be there, so I finally got to see you in person. I have to say, it was a thrill to see you ... although I'm sure it would have been more of a thrill to see you pitch rather than seeing you coach first base! Too bad your team didn't have a very good day. Maybe I'll have to make a trip this summer to see you pitch.
Sometimes, you do have to take some time out and reassess your life. So don't feel bad about taking time out from your MBA program. Its something a lot of people have to do, and I'm sure you will be better off because of this. Good luck to you.
Much to my surprise, shortly thereafter was a reply from Cat herself.
paige,
Thank you very much for coming out to our game! We actually hit decently. Just a bad day. Also thanks for the support on the MBA program. I tend to fill my plate with too many things, so it was a must to put something on hold! Hope you get around to coming to see me play live rather than coach, but again thank you for coming to watch. --Cat
Watching the softball game was one of the highlights of my trip. Getting a note from the big Cat herself — priceless!
Update: Photos from the game are here.
