I know, we can't believe there are no pictures of Luisa either. Can anyone help here?
The Story
Fast Facts: Meet Jose Valverde's wife, Luisa. The couple has one child together, daughter Montscrat born in 2003. The entire family makes their offseason home in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
While playing with the Diamondbacks, a feature piece was written on Valverde. In the piece on MLB.com, Jose admits that after being burned by friends and family with their hands out once he hit it big in the majors, he realized he has only one true friend outside the game, and that is Luisa. The other item that popped out is that Luisa attends every one of Jose's games, both home and away.
Past that, information and visuals are limited. According to Jose's official site, he founded a salon and spa called "La Casa Di Belleza," in Coral Gables, FL. This salon offers hair, face and body treatments including but not limited to hair loss solutions, hair extensions, laser therapy and rejuvenation treatments. We are unsure if the salon is still open as the website is no longer online. Maybe they moved their South Beach style salon to Detroit.
Time Together: Jhonny and Molly met in May, 2002, when the Avon, OH native met Jhonny who was then the SS for the Akron Aeroes. After months of calling each other as friends, Molly suggested she go visit Jhonny at the Arizona Fall League that October. The couple was got engaged in April, 2006, and were married in January, 2007.
Fun Facts: While staying in Goodyear, AZ for Spring Training, Molly was stung by a scorpion in bed in the couple's rented home. Both acknowledge having seen the potentially venomous creatures in the area and some parts of the house, but had never seen them in the bedroom. After multiple failed exterminator visits, the couple moved away from the house and to a much more human populated, and less scorpion populated area.
Molly was fine, by the way.
Fast Facts: Alex and Kristina were married December 10, 2010. They live in Pembroke Pines, FL in the offseason.
Kristina appears to be very involved in charitable endeavors throughout Detroit, as well as spending a significant amount of time working with the Tiger Wives charitable foundation.
UPDATE: 10/18/2011: Ah, the ol' conflicting schedules....
Brad Penny and Karina Smirnoff have 'postponed' their pending wedding, according to sources speaking to People and Us Weekly. The couple was scheduled to be married January 21, 2012, but based on their current position at the top of the Dancing With The Stars leaderboard, it's likely that Karina could be dancing late into 2011 in her pursuit of the mirror trophy. Penny just wrapped up his 2011 season with the Detroit Tigers, falling in game 6 of the ALCS to the Texas Rangers.
Karina tells People Magazine that planning a wedding is simply not possible while competing on DWTS, and she wants to take her time and enjoy both experiences.
Karina's dance partner, JR Martinez offers his help, saying "I want to be one of the bridesmaids."
Time Together: The two have been dating since 2009 after being introduced by mutual friend, Chuck Liddell. They got engaged on October 4, 2010 (the day after Brad Penny and the Cardinals wrapped up their 2010 season).
Resume: Karina is best known as one of the professional dancers on Dancing with the Stars (or in her case this year, Dancing with The Situation, which is not the same as Dancing with a Star). The repeated World Champion Ballroom dancer has also been paired with "stars," Mario Lopez, Billy Ray Cyrus, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mario, Rocco DiSpirito, Steve Wozniak, and Aaron Carter in seasons past.
UPDATE: By now we've all heard about the altercation that took place during the final weekend of the regular season between the Cabrera's. It appears that Miguel came home drunk, and an upset Rosangel confronted him for waking her and their child. A scuffle ensued, resulting in unexplained facial lacerations and abrasions on Miguel for Sunday's season finale against the White Sox.
Rosangel called the cops, and Miguel was taken into custody before being released to the Tigers custody. The Detroit news has obtained a recording of the troubling 911 call, which you can listen to here.
Fun Facts: The couple has a three year old daughter, also named Rosangel.
Time Together: The two began dating in high school and were married June 17, 2002 in a civil ceremony while Miggy was rising through the minors.
Hometown: The Ordonez family resides in Fort Lauderdale, FL in the offseason.
Fast Facts: Together, Magglio and Dagly have three children: son Magglio Jr., and daughters Maggliana and Sophia.
Fun Facts: During the 2008 offseason, Magglio and Dagly served as celebrity baristas at a Detroit Starbucks as part of the third annual Detroit Tigers Barista Day. Their efforts raised over $10,000 for the Detroit Tigers Foundation.
Fast Facts: Brandon and Shani have two kids, Tyler and Chase.
Interests: The Inge's recently donated $100,000 of their own money to a new pediatric wing at the University of Michigan Health Systems. The two also hosted an community contest in conjunction with the hospital for the naming rights to the new wing called "Up to Bat with the Inge's."
Fun Facts: Before the 2008 season, Shani did an interview with a local Detroit TV station. Brandon had recently lost his starting job to all world third baseman Miguel Cabrera. Shani described how this situation was eating Inge alive, and how he couldn't get out of bed in the morning. She talked about how hard it was to watch him go through him losing his job, and how unfair it is for him to have reminders every day that he lost his starting gig.
We get it. We're all for sticking up for your man and all that trash. But after Brandon won his starting gig from another player, does it then become unfair for someone else to have lost their starting job? This argument is a slippery slope, Shani.
