Soccer Star Mia Hamm Welcomes Twins


U.S. soccer star Mia Hamm and her husband, Los Angeles Dodgers hunk Nomar Garciaparra, welcomed twin baby girls on Wednesday, her rep confirmed.

People magazine broke the story.

“Both babies are healthy,” announced Josh Rawitch, a spokesman for the Dodgers team.

Hamm, 33, played on the U.S. women's national soccer team for 18 years, retiring after the 2004 Olympics.

She met Garciaparra at a 1998 charity event and wed in Santa Barbara in 2003. They currently reside in Los Angeles.

“Extra” sends our congrats to the superstar family!

Hi!
Congratulations with the twins! I am a twin myself and I come from Norway. My best friend, Charlotte, is probably Norway’s biggest fan of you! She has her birthday soon, so if you ever get to answer this message, please send her a birthday wish. It would be the best gift she could ever get! I understand it if you don’t get the chance. You are a very good rolemodel for upcoming soccerplayers! Hugs

Everyone is mia’s biggest fan no one more than anyone else. And as for the girl that wants mia’s autograph at least you got to see mia, for most of her fans all over the world thats a dream! I just have to make do with watching clips of her play and there not easy to get hold of! Having her autograph wont make you a better footballer! Its not about autographs its about her playing soccer! What does her autograph tell you about her being a soccer legend??

mia
i am probaly the only person that is your biggest fan and dont have an autogtaph or anything else about you in my room. i went to the hall of fame induction on august 26 and i admired your speech and julie foudys. i was lucky to go with one of my best friends and her family and thats all i wanted to do is go and see you in person for the first time in my life. i was right there when you walked in and then your twins which are soo cute and your husband walk in too. when it came to the hall of fame game i thought you played excellent and i understud that you only played the first half while other fans were like she should have played the whole game. i knew how you felt the place was mobbed and every one was crazy to get your autograph. my best friend got one and i tried my best to get one because i figured this was probaly my only chance to get your autograph because no one in my family plays soccer but me so i only been to one us game and never got the opportunity to see you play in a game. it ended up that you walked out with out signing my usa ball but i knew you cant sign every persons item. but all i kept thinking about is what i should have done to get to you in the front. i even had dreams about you and julie coming to my house and signing my ball but i know that will never happen. i decided last night before i closed my eyes that im gonna write to you and hope to get a response but if not im never going to give up because i know thats not what a real fan does and i knew you never gave up on you soccer did you? im going to go to the julie foudy camp next summer and pray that your going to be her guest. that would just make my day even my life to finally get your autograph. it would also make me very happy to see you write back to me that would even feel to me that i actually talked to you. i hope to hear from you soon :]

yours truly,
michelle
