I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger Frank Catalanotto fan than me. You see the ball that's behind the Batter's Box logo at the top of this page? That ball was autographed by the Cat. Not only that -- he threw the ball to me during a game, and my wife got him to autograph it for me later.
This was back in 2003, when I made a giant banner that read VOTE CATALANOTTO in the same font and style as the VOTE DELGADO and VOTE WELLS banners on the outfield walls at the then-SkyDome, and brought it with me during All-Star voting. One game a security fellow asked to see my rolled-up sign and got so excited by it that he directed me to sit in the left field corner and unveil the sign whenever possible. I did, and that's when the Cat tossed me that ball.
Enjoy Texas, Frank. I'll miss you, and I don't think I'm the only one. And whenever someone loads up a page of Batter's Box, that ball you autographed for me will appear.
Here's Frank Catalanotto, one last time for your desktops:
