Travis Wood’s wife Brittany Wood has humorously called her home “where baseball sends us.” That’s a fitting way to describe the nomadic baseball lifestyle that pro athletes’ families have to endure in modern times. Brittany’s certainly a huge baseball fan too, and she’s all over the playoff picture as it stands now, with the Cubs about to head to the postseason. Brittany also takes part in whatever food drives and charity events the Cubs have…
Shawn Tolleson’s wife Lynley Tolleson went on some wild expedition with him to none other than Zambia in the fall of 2012. In case your geography is rusty, Zambia is a country in the southern part of the continent of Africa, south of the Democratic Republic of Congo and north of Zimbabwe. If you still don’t know where that is, well, that’s fine. Anyway, it’s not where most major league baseball couples go after the…
Bobby Parnell’s wife Maegan Parnell makes up half of a Carolina story. Bobby is from North Carolina, and I’m fairly certain Maegan is from South, and they were engaged in Charleston, South Carolina. Back in January of 2010, they were down there for a long weekend right before Bobby’s spring training which happens in Florida. Maegan says Bobby proposed to her next to a water fountain, and their wedding took place on November 12 the…
Sometimes, on PlayerWives.com we stumble across family stories that can’t go untold. While searching for Javier Baez’s wife, or Javier Baez’s girlfriend, we learned about Javier Baez’s sister Noely Baez. Noely was born with a birth defect that occurs a little less than once every 1000 births called spina bifida, which means “split spine.” It’s a very dangerous defect that happens when the backbone does not close all the way in a baby. Javier told…
Peter Bourjos’ wife Ashley Bourjos was married in a very classy outdoor setting in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The place is called Paradise Valley– it’s gotta’ be a nice spot to set up shop and get a couple hitched. Pete and Ashley got a classy wedding photographer team to document their entire wedding, and then the team (actually a couple) wrote all about them. So it was no problem for us to get a good feel…
Ah, to be a Venezuelan baseball star. Francisco Cervelli’s girlfriend Migbelis Castellanos picks up where his ex-girlfriend, Patricia De Leon, leaves off. As you may or may not know, Patrica De Leon was a beauty queen from Panama. Well, Migbelis is Miss Venezuela 2013. So not only is she way younger than Patricia, but she’s from Francisco’s home country. Score! I wonder how Patricia felt when she learned he was dating her. If I was…
Francisco Cervelli’s girlfriend Patricia De Leon is actually his ex-girlfriend. Patricia, a well-known actress and television host from the Central American country of Panama (known for Panama Canal fame), and the Pirates backstop broke up a couple years ago. Panama is a pretty dangerous country to visit right now, but I’m sure they’d treat Patricia De Leon like absolute royalty there, as she was crowned Miss Panama 1995 and then went on to start an…
