I’ll start this by saying I’m a huge Jim Leyland fan. I wish there were more managers and coaches like him; total no nonsense take no crap style.

With the strike throwing machine picking up 2 saves so far in the ALCS, we figured it was time to find out more about Phil Coke’s wife Bobbie Coke. Phil admittedly hit a rough patch earlier in the 2012 regular season. It was a rough stretch that he…
Being the wife of a professional athlete comes with both positive and negative aspects.

UPDATE: Anyone else perplexed by Prince Fielder’s relatively poor season at the plate? I’ll bet Prince Fielder’s wife Chanel Fielder can explain. On May 28, 2013, Prince Fielder filed a dissolution-of-marriage case against wife Chanel Fielder. The proceedings have not yet played out and divorce is not finalized, but clearly on the way. We’ll keep an eye on this one (as will many single women in Detroit) UPDATE: 07/2009: For those paying attention to the…
