The Story
- Time Together: By now, you've probably heard the story:
An up and coming Yankee pitcher named Ian Kennedy married his longtime girlfriend, Allison Jaskowiak, on October 6 2007. Only problem with that date was that it fell smack dab in the middle of the MLB Postseason. To a non-Yankee fan, and non-MLB pitcher, it sure seems like the Yankees have had a pretty regular date with postseason baseball in recent years, and October may be a bad month to plan a wedding.
Unfortunately, this wasn't simply a case of Bridezilla demanding a wedding date. Allison was then playing basketball player at USC and finding a date to accommodate both schedules was difficult. Ian had also discussed plans with Yankee brass to see if it would be a conflict. Considering he was expected to peak at Double-A in 07, the date didn't seem to pose any threat to his postseason status. Joe Torre had the best quip on the whole nontroversey stating, "I didn't get one of the invitations. We just hope his prospective wife is very understanding."
In Ian's defense he told the team he was ready to postpone the event being held at Westborough Country Club just outside of Allison's hometown of St. Louis. However, following his September call-up, leaving his bride in a state of daily terror waiting to find out if he would make the postseason roster. Fortunately for Allison, and unfortunately for Ian, he did not make the 07 Yankee playoff roster, and the wedding went off as planned, though none of his Yankee teammate could attend the day's events while they took on the Cleveland Indians.
The happy couple walked up the aisle to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," following the ceremony. They had their first child in April 24 of 2011 at 2:04AM. The next night, Ian pitched his first career shutout against the Mets, taking exactly 2:04.

The Story
- We all know Justin Upton is a prize catch (especially considering I've been trying to trade and overpay for him in my keeper league for the last four season). Apparently, one person knows exactly how to get ahold of him. (And yes, I know what a chick I sound like writing this. It's ok. I have a mancrush. I'm good with it.)
The only real press on Upton and his girl comes from an article in Newsday. Upton and his girlfriend live together in the Phoenix area, though she does occasionally travel with him on the roads. He admits that while the constant travel can be difficult, she "understands the grind of everything, which is why you have people come in town who can entertain her other than me," Upton said. "That's the easiest way to do it."'
So that's what we got. Anyone able to help fill in some blanks here?

The Story
- Time Together: The two were married in November, 2006.
- Fast Facts: The pair had their first child December 11, 2007, 3 days before Dan was traded from Oakland to Arizona.
- Fun Facts: Nearly a full year after the two were married, they still had an unsold registry to Pottery Barn available to be seen and shopped by the public. You know, cause it's tough for a perennial all star to afford candle stick holders and stuff like that. Seems reasonable.
