John Smoltz’s wife Kathryn Smoltz is the second he’s taken, and he’s the second husband she’s taken. The two got to both enjoy his first and last induction into the hall of fame in February of this year. Kathryn was present and probably felt pretty cool watching her new husband become a hall-of-famer. I guess 3084 strikeouts, 213 wins, and 150 saves will do that for you. Smoltz and Kathryn have six kids (four from…
Atlanta Braves Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
John Rocker’s girlfriend Julie McGee is a spray-tan business owner and future Survivor contestant. That’s a lot of living right there. First of all, owning a spray-tan business is sort of like the Sopranos equivalent of “going straight.” You’re not committing any crimes, but your level of greasiness and low-brow practices continues unabated. Spraying on a tan is sort of baffling to me because it’s very easily spotted and rarely improves one’s looks. Let me…
Tom Glavine’s wife Christine Glavine is bummed that he never pursued his professional hockey career. Allow me to explain: Tom was actually drafted by the Los Angeles Kings back in 1984. If you don’t believe me, check here. If you go on Christine’s Twitter site, you’ll notice that she’s an absolutely rabid Bruins fan. In particular, she’s an obsessive Patrice Bergeron fan. So basically all this baseball stuff is fine, but I’m thinking Christine would…
Greg Maddux’s wife Kathy Maddux may have turned the tide for his hall of fame logo selection. The legendary pitcher will go without a logo on his cap for his plaque when he’s inducted into the Hall. In his explanation, he states that Kathy and himself “grew up in baseball in Chicago,” which at first I thought meant that his wife was from Chicago, but it turns out his wife is from Fabulous Las Vegas….
UPDATE 02/01/2014:Freddie Freeman’s girlfriend? Nope, Chelsea Goff now gets the distinct title of Freddie Freeman’s fiance. On Sunday, January 19, Freeman took to Twitter to announce the news and included a picture of a sunset boat shot with Freeman down on one knee. Goff is standing clearly shocked, looking like 90% of women when that moment happens. No word on when the wedding may take place. With the baseball season a couple weeks away, it’s…
My official reaction when the Braves trade for Justin Upton was that of reserved excitement, but in my mind I was running around jumping for joy. It’s not everyday that your favorite team trades for your fantasy crush, especially if they only have to give up 60 cents on the dollar. I tempered my expectations coming into the season, mostly because Upton was a huge disappointment in 2012. Maybe it was moving out of the…
So, we’ve seen players guard their privacy, but never quite like this. Kris Medlen is without a doubt the winner in the “non-Mike Trout MLB Breakout Player of the Year.” The Braves pitcher has gone from relative obscurity to a staff ace with a sub 2.00 ERA who also happened to have tied a major league record with the Braves winning 22 straight games Medlen started. With his newly found fame and success comes a…
