Mike Zunino’s wife Alyssa Zunino married him in Florida in October of 2012 and spent one night celebrating at a hotel on a beach. Then they packed up and left so Mike could go play for some team nobody’s ever heard of called the Peoria Javelinas. I wonder if Alyssa ever second-guessed her decision to marry a catcher who wasn’t already in the big leagues, because now she doesn’t have to worry about getting a…
MLB Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
Trevor Plouffe’s wife Olivia Plouffe lags just behind Trevor on their hikes, and Trevor documents her hiking progress. I am referring to the funny double entendre that Trevor posted with a picture on Twitter looking down at her and saying “these mountains bring a tear to my eye,” her cleavage visible from above. Last year, Trevor expressed the disappointment he felt about Ryan Braun testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs and getting slapped with a 65-game…
Tommy Milone’s wife Tina Milone can hit his changeup with ease. Tina is an all-around fun girl, according to her Twitter page. She routinely posts more interesting stuff than most people I follow on Twitter, but I myself am sort of a neanderthal when it comes to getting the most out of Twitter, so my standards aren’t that high. Anyway, the reason I say Tina can hit his changeup with ease is because she handles…
Darryl Strawberry’s wife Tracy Strawberry has heard a lot of campfire spook stories from Mr. Straw; the problem is they aren’t made up and they’re all about drugs and baseball. Darryl is embarking on a book tour with Tracy to talk about their new book The Imperfect Marriage: Help for Those Who Think It’s Over. The big news that came out of this tour is when Darryl was asked to confirm or deny the story…
Barry Bond’s girlfriend Mari Holden is a force on a bicycle. She’s an Olympic cycling medalist, a former world time trial champion and a fixture at the major US tours. The couple connected because the former MLB player took up a new sport, cycling. When the couple met, Mari Holden could crush Barry Bonds on an incline, and apparently he loved that. “He’s very animated about it, and very funny,” Specialized Bicycle Components founder and…
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….
