Nori Aoki’s wife Sachi Ohtake Aoki has been with him since 2008, having been introduced by a mutual friend. They tied the knot about two years later. This was a big move for Sachi since she was formerly a television broadcaster in Japan, and she had a serious career going for herself. Up and moving to the United States to be with her pro baseball-playing husband was a big decision. Sachi was well aware of…
Jason Vargas’ wife Shelley Vargas is another case of Major League Baseball’s endearing high school sweetheart syndrome. Of all the big sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and even golf) I am now quite confident that baseball has the most dudes married to their high school sweethearts. And what a sweet heart she has, that Shelley. Jason’s wife Shelley is a Cali girl, born in Lake Forest. The couple upped and moved to sunny and scorching…
You know, there are some pretty clever and well-adjusted Mormons out there. Ken Jennings tops the list, but Jeremy Guthrie and his wife just joined the club. Jeremy Guthrie’s wife Jenny Guthrie just recently finished running a marathon, attended a charity event for a Kansas City Hospital, and she helps Jeremy record his awesome “Throwdown Thursday” videos for Twitter. If you’ve never heard of Throwdown Thursday, allow me to explain what Jenny helps him with….
Josh Willingham’s wife Ginger Willingham is vying for the title of most religiously zealous Twitter user. Now, normally I tend to goof on these folks quite a bit, but since she’s clearly a philanthropic type, how could I? I may have mistaken which title she’s vying for, and it may actually be the most philanthropically active Twitter user. Last year, Josh’s wife Ginger attended the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation event to help fight youngsters getting old-person…
Alcides Escobar’s ex-wife Leury Moreno is not a fan of Alcides Escobar. This one’s a bit of a drag. I mean, there’s baby mama drama and then there’s this. Anyway, we’ll just tell you what Leury Moreno has told the media and reported about Alcides herself. Alcides’ ex-wife married him in 2008, and shortly thereafter she became pregnant. Alcides went to Venezuela and left Leury in Panama while he played winter baseball. She couldn’t go…
Lorenzo Cain’s wife Jenny Cain sees no correlation between her new baby son and a six-foot-eight relief pitcher. The headlines across a couple big sports sites recently have been gabbing about the strange coincidence that the Cains ran into when they found out their newborn shares the same name as Kameron Loe. So basically what happened is Lorenzo and his wife Jenny thought it would be snazzy to include the middle name “Loe” because it…
George Brett’s wife Leslie Davenport Brett married him way back in the golden years of the 80’s. The wedding itself was attended only by the families, and it took place at a relative’s house. I like that about the couple. Nothing flashy, nothing too silly (I’m looking at you Mr. and Mrs. Moustakas). Just a good old fashioned low-key ceremony. George’s wife Leslie came from the University of Kansas and was originally from Wichita. Kansas,…
