Player Wives & Girlfriends

The Story

• UPDATE: After getting married in Vegas in February, as planned, the Beckett's are getting to work on having a family. According to the Boston Herald, Holly is due with the couple's first child in the fall. For Red Sox Nation's sake, and probably Holly's sake while she's expecting, let's hope he's nor born during the playoffs. Josh gets a little intense, and I don't think he'd be the greatest delivery room coach.
• Time Together: The two have been together for a while, and got engaged while attending the Daytona 500 in February, 2010. According to their registry, the two are scheduled to be engaged on February 1, 2011.
• Fast Facts: So who exactly does a nasty, fire breathing, fire ballin', mean ol' Texan ask to marry him?
  The answer might surprise you. After putting together a fairly solid big league tail resume, Beckett returned to his roots. Holly Fisher is a member of the Spring High School Class of 99 (same as Beckett). She went on to earn a degree in Aeronautical Engineering before getting a job at Boeing while she pursued her masters degree in the same field. She currently works as a space engineering consultant for a company on the west coast and has her pilot's license. That's right,... Josh Beckett is about to marry a rocket scientist, in every literal sense of the word.
• Fun Facts: So everyone remembers the Brian McCann wedding registry debacle (though his Mrs. Brian McCann's mother is a sweetheart of a woman, and I'm not being sarcastic). Well, even though he's a Red Sox, we'd be remiss to not poke fun at the Beckett-Fisher registry.
  After signing a 4 year $68 Million dollar deal earlier this spring (which he's currently doing a bang up job of earning (and I sadly have to clarify that I am being sarcastic here)), the couple has registered for the following item's: Gift cards to Macy's, Bloomingdale's, JC Penney's and Amazon.com. Seriously. Gift cards. That's it.
  Now, I'm going to pull back the curtain here for a second and reveal that both of the guys running this site are engaged (and to be clear, we're engaged to women that are indisputably hotter and cooler than we deserve, and no, we're not engaged to each other you fuckheads.) I think that Josh Beckett has given us a great idea, because seriously, who the fuck uses a gravy boat? Wouldn't it be better to just get cash towards what you want than to register for towels? At first, I thought the idea was tacky, but I'm all the way in on this one. Like in the 07 playoffs,... thank you Josh Beckett. Thank you.
