FUTURE MOM MIA HAMM CAN FINALLY USE HER HANDS: Julie Foudy and Mia Hamm know each other pretty darn well. They played together on the Women’s U.S. National Soccer team for 18 years, retiring together in 2004 (and in since probably you missed it, Tuesday they were inducted together in the National Soccer Hall of Fame).

Foudy, now an ESPN analyst who gave birth to a daughter in January, is preparing Hamm (a.k.a. Mrs. Nomar Garciaparra), who is expecting twins in mid-April, for motherhood:

“I told her, `I can’t wait to see you breast-feeding double-fisted.’ It’s challenging enough with one.”

Yeah, it’ll be difficult for Hamm, since everyone knows she already has one mouth to feed.
