Player Wives & Girlfriends

Fast Facts

• Fast Facts: Krista Clark Lackey is a native Mainer who went on to graduate from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in tourism and event planning. The native New Englander admits that when she and John first started dating she had to convince her father, brother and sister stop wearing their Red Sox gear around the former Angel ace.
• Quote: Alright, so last year at this time, in a bitter and jealous fit, we may have trashed Mark Teixeira for letting his wife make his free agent decision.
  In the interest of full disclosure, John openly admitted that he was lured to the Red Sox in part because of Krista. "I definitely had to have my agent really let them [The Red Sox] know I was serious about this. The wife helped out a lot. (He told them), My wife went to UNH.”
  I'm desperately searching for a way to call this ok without looking like a hypocrite in view of my previous stance towards Leigh Teixeira, but I'm coming up empty. I'll say it anyways: Krista Lackey's influence is OK by us.
  And so is being a homer and a hypocrite.
