Tigers sign Misty May-Treanor’s husband
In a not surprising move, Detroit signs the husband of Misty May-Treanor. You may remember her as the somewhat attractive olympian and one of the best female beach volleyball players of all time. Her husband.. not so much. But he’s a great defensive catcher, and paired with the recent acquisition of Gerald Laird, he gives the pitching staff no excuses. It also guarantees that Dusty Ryan starts the season in Toledo, which is a very good thing.
Downside? Misty May has a ruptured achilles and is now pregnant, so she won’t be strutting her bikini near CoPa anytime soon. Also there is the possible gripe between Treanor and Miguel Cabrera… what are the chances that Cabrera puts up a nice photo spread of Misty May in his locker next year to show his support?
Interesting: Laird is listed at 6-1, 225. Treanor: 6-2, 220 (in the detnews article; 6-0 210 in tigers.com). Dusty Ryan: 6-4, 220. Al Avila: 5-11, 210. James Skelton, 5-11, 165. One of these things is not like the other…
