Cute4: Hello Kitty throws out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium

Hello Kitty is more than a simple cat. Hello Kitty is a brand. Hello Kitty is a religion. Hello Kitty is life itself.

It was Hello Kitty fleece blanket night at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, and the cat herself threw out the first pitch in celebration. Even though she's both a cat and a fictional character, Ms. Kitty's pitch was much better than some of those we've seen in the past.

Really, what we've learned tonight is that if you're managing the All-Cartoon team, you'd want Hello Kitty at pitcher. That means Charlie Brown would probably have to find something else to do. Maybe he's more of a defensive shortstop?
