Catherine Bell starred on JAG for 10 years as … , shoot, I don’t remember her name.  I’m a bit distracted right now. Anyway, that’s her and she’s quite the good looker. I’ll bet you didn’t think she was older than 35, but she’ll turn 40 this month.

So to recap: I don’t remember the name of her JAG character, but I do know that her birthday is in August. What’s another T.R.O. anyway, ya know? Send your tips, pictures descriptions and accounts without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball to patrick@joesportsfan.com
