We’ve searched for months on this topic, and despite the occasional hint, whisper or possibility; from everything we can tell Robinson Cano’s girlfriend does not currently exist. One of the main points to our conclusion came from Cano himself via Twitter. While we don’t always believe twitter posts when athletes talk about their significant others, Robinson more or less confirmed our suspicions earlier in the season (April to be precise) with this post. @RobinsonCano:No I…

While both grew up attending church, it wasn’t until Adam married Jenny that both focused on their religion. On the Christian blog Athletes in Action, Jenny explains: It was during the first year…
As his 2012 Walter Payton Man of the Year award shows quite well, Matt Birk has always been willing to stand up for what he believes in and help his community. Continuing in that fashion, Birk recently wrote an op-ed piece for the Minnesota Star Tribune, in direct opposition to (and even vaguely referencing) the gay marriage stance held by former teammate Chris Kluwe.

So, we’ve seen players guard their privacy, but never quite like this. Kris Medlen is without a doubt the winner in the “non-Mike Trout MLB Breakout Player of the Year.” The Braves pitcher has gone from relative obscurity to a staff ace with a sub 2.00 ERA who also happened to have tied a major league record with the Braves winning 22 straight games Medlen started. With his newly found fame and success comes a…
