Grady Sizemore Baseball Star

Grady Sizemore III was born on August 2, 1982, in Seattle, Washington to Donna and Grady Sizemore II. (Click here for today's sports birthdays.) Grady’s mom worked as an accountant. His father was an insurance adjuster.

The Sizemores lived in Everett, an easy drive north of Seattle. Like Derek Jeter, Grady was the product of a mixed-race marriage. Donna is white, while Grady II is African-American.

Grady II was a pretty fair baseball player in his day and enjoyed a good career in college. By contrast, he encouraged his sons (Grady and his younger brother, Corey) to play whatever sport was in season.

Grady’s baseball career started at 18 months, when his parents bought him a Fat Albert baseball bat. The first time he gripped it, his stance was so perfect that the Sizemores felt compelled to snap a picture. The family still has it today. By age four, Grady was hitting overhand pitching with an aluminum bat.

Curtis Granderson Baseball Player Profile & Photos

Born: 1981/03/16
Age: 30
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185
Place of birth: Blue Island, IL
Bats/Throws: L / R

Curtis Granderson was born on March 16, 1981 in Blue Island, Illinois. (Click here for a complete listing of today's sports birthdays.) His parents, Curtis Sr. and Mary, were both educators and impressed upon him the importance of staying in school. Curtis Sr. worked as a gym teacher at Nathan Hale Elementary, and Mary taught science at Curie High School.

The Grandersons lived in Lynwood, a southern suburb of Chicago. A gifted student, Curtis heeded the advice of his parents and spent plenty of time hitting the books. Intelligent and articulate, he felt right at home in the classroom.

His parents were there to catch every one of their son's highlights. Mary never seemed to miss a game, and Curtis Sr. coached a couple of his boy's Little League teams.

With Chicago close by, Curtis rooted for the Cubs and White Sox. When he discovered WTBS, he began following the Atlanta Braves, especially after they rose to prominence in the National League. The player Curtis most identified with, however, was Ken Griffey Jr. He marveled at Junior's combination of speed and power at the plate and loved the way he roamed the outfield.

Michael Young Baseball Good Player 2011

Born: 1976/10/19
Age: 34
Height: 6-1
Weight: 200
Place of birth: Covina, CA
Bats/Throws: R / R
Seasons: 11
Drafted by: the Toronto Blue Jays in 1997 (5th round)

Michael Brian Young was born on October 19, 1976 in Covina, California. His mom Anna called him B as a boy and his dad Fred called him Mikey. Michael’s parents were both U.S.-born, but his mother’s family was from Mexico. English was spoken in the Young home, although Michael picked up Spanish over the years. Today, he can converse with his Latino teammates in the majors.

Baseball was Michael’s favorite sport as a child. From the age of four, he planned to become a pro player. The talent was there and so was the teaching. Fred would talk technique and strategy as long as his son would listen.

A construction worker who put in a day's labor for a decent wage, Fred never made a big deal about what he did for a living. Michael admired his father, and over the years, he went from mischief-maker to a kid with an incredible work ethic. On the diamond, Michael was one of those players who loved practice as much as the games, and he was always in motion, always hustling. That impressed youth coach Garth Daniels, who spent extra time tutoring Michael on the fine points of hitting. Daniels did a great deal to boost Michael’s confidence overall.

The Top 10 Hottest Wives of Baseball Players 2011

No. 10 — Diana Roberts

If you were one of the folks who used to read the men’s publication FHM, you might remember Diana (former last name: Chiafair). She was Miss FHM in 2006 and was also once a model on Deal Or No Deal.

She is now married to Second baseman Brian Roberts.

In case you cared, her last job was in pharmaceutical sales. She is of Swedish/Italian descent.

No. 9 — Erica Ellyson

Ellyson won Penthouse Playmate of the year in 2008, and is dating Boston Red Sox hurler Clay Bucholz.

No. 8 — Alicia Rickter

Alicia was born in September 1972, posed for Playboy in October 2005 (the 500th Playmate), and starred in Baywatch Hawaii. Other acting credits include the film Buying the Cow in 2002. Jerry O’Connell was the lead actor in Cow, if that tells you anything about whether or not you should add it to your Netflix queue.
Rickter loves art and the beach. “I really enjoy painting, it can be a very sexy and stimulating experience,” she said in 1997 in Playboy. The beach is also one of Alicia’s favorite places – “fun and sun in the ocean breeze, who could ask for anything more?”

No. 7 — Lisa Dergan

I couldn’t believe it either. Lisa is married to White Sox outfielder Scott Podsenik.

No. 6 — Heidi Hamels

Heidi Hamels, also known as Heidi Strobel, is a Playboy model and gained fame on CBS’s reality series,”Survivor” when she notoriously stripped naked in return for a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I actually thought Cole Hamels was a pole-smoker, but props to the girliest looking pitcher in MLB.

No. 5— Laura Cover

Laura Cover, you guessed it, is also a Playboy model, and is married to former Yankee third baseman, Aaron Boone.

No. 4 — Jamie Kotsay

In MVP 2004 for Playstation, I traded for Mark Kotsay. That was the last time I thought of him. Until now.

No. 3 — Anna Benson

This chick needs no intro. In 2006 and ’07, FHM voted her in the top 50 hottest women. She’s on the record saying she hates PETA, Michael Moore and gun control. Oh yeah, she’s married to ex-Mets scrub Kris Benson

No. 2 — Minka Kelly

OK, so they’re not married, but how could I resist giving her No. 2 for No. 2?

Minka Kelly is officially Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive for 2010. The magazine settled down with her to discuss growin up, hobbies and her life. Congratulations to Minka on the amazing win. It’s definitely well deserved.

No. 1 — Shannon Schambeau

Meet Shannon Schambeau, the 2005 Miss D.C. and wife of former Washington Nationals pitcher John Patterson (he’s been recently picked up by the Texas Rangers – signing him to a minor league contract) . See photos and a biography of Shannon below.
Shannon Schambeau was born on January 12, 1981 in San Antonio, Florida, which makes her 27 years old. Since Shannon was in the 6th grade, she has been a volunteer for the Special Olympics. She currently works for the Special Olympics in the International headquarters in Washington, DC, where she is Manager for Donor Relationships.
While growing up in Florida, Shannon has competed in several beauty pageants. She was the Miss Pasco County Fair 2000, Miss Mid-State 2001, and Miss Tri-County in 2002.
