Kirk Nieuwenhuis’ wife Bethany Nieuwenhuis is a bubbly young lady who wed dear old Kirk late in 2013. She’s what I would call a “sharp Californian,” which means she leans toward a progressive and open attitude towards social issues and has a free-wheeling approach to life. That’s a good thing for a player’s wife because it lends her some flexibility when she finds herself in different living situations. Being able to adapt is important when…
Kelly Johnson’s wife Lauren Johnson was proposed to by a tearful Mr. Johnson in a family restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. I feel a bit of cultural dissonance when I hear about a professional baseball player crying when he proposes to his girlfriend, but that’s just his style, I guess. He was sitting with her at her favorite restaurant, and he started crying so she thought something was amiss. Come on, Kelly, hold it together! He…
Luke Hochevar’s wife Ashley Hochevar married the fella’ on January 20 of 2007 at a church in Tennessee. Ashley set up the wedding to be held in her home town of Paris, Tennessee, and the local paper gave one of the most detailed accounts of the wedding that I have ever seen. I don’t know if its customary for local paper to do that or if it was requested or what, but the paper literally…
So a couple weeks ago, we put up a post questioning who Salvador Perez’s girlfriend was. The Kansas City faithful (and good Lord are they faithful), came through in a big way and notified us repeatedly of what’s apparently a well known fact. Salvador Perez’s girlfriend is named Marig Ruiz. OK, that’s about it. When it comes to Marig, there’s not much out there to know. The World Series MVP has been a little more…
Travis D’Arnaud’s girlfriend Britney Cobain laughs at the guy’s jokes, and that’s the most important thing to him. In an interview from the Post from last year, D’Arnaud said as much though the interviewer responded by saying that D’Arnaud wasn’t naturally funny and that he must mean she forces the laugh. Taking the high road, D’Arnaud just responded with a “who knows” and said no matter the reason, Britney made him feel naturally funny. You…
Alcides Escobar’s wife Francesca Escobar has had one child with him and is a frequenter of the Royals locker room based on recent player interviews. I’m not sure if anyone remembers Mr. Escobar from the last time we reported on his ex-wife Leury Moreno, but let’s just that it’s one of the least pleasant divorces we’ve ever seen. There are rumors floating that Alcides allegedly told her he only married her for a green card…
Fred Wilpon’s wife Judy Wilpon has been with him for a long time. The couple met in college back in the mid 1950’s and they’ve been together ever since. Despite having kids, by far the most interesting aspect of the Wilpons is that they were closely acquainted with Bernie Madoff. According to an article in the New Yorker that detailed the relationship between Fred and Bernie, The Wilpon’s headlined one of the largest groups of…
