Sportive in Love : Mr & Mrs M2
Sunday, January 15th, 2012
If you are a base player and that too a young one at that, then you are already flirting with the whole of America.
No other game in America is as popular as Baseball, in fact this sport has spun more movies for Hollywood compared to any other sport or profession. As in one movie ‘Fever Pitch’ where it’s all about Baseball Vs romance. But that was not the case with Matt Treanor who did not miss the catch of his love thrown at him from the pitcher who would later become Matt’s beloved wife .
The Pitcher was none other than Misty May who was the most successful “beach-volley ball” Olympic player America has ever seen in recent times. Although volleyball came only 3rd or fourth in popularity to other American sports, but still beach volley ball being a sandy and sunny event scores over other sports as it has this dual flavor about it being a sporting event plus a picnic outing. Moreover with chicks joining the game it is never just a game with all it’s women player’s in sports bikinis can even give the baywatch girls a run for the money in the sex appeal .
Definitely Beach Volley ball has come a long way from the early days of being a male-only sport to being a babewatch event on the beaches. It is now a serious sports which has made it’s way into the tough domain of International Olympics and certainly it has made it to the hearts of every sportive beach goer in America and around the world where beach sports is a part of popular culture .
It all began on November 2003 at a sports therapy center in Orange, Calif. The flirtatious sport of baseball and the testosterone tempting game of beach volleyball finally got into a match of romance and from there on it progressed to the engagement semi-finals, thus Misty May got engaged to Matt Treanor on January 2004, well in this case both the teams won which got them qualified for the ‘marriage finals’. And the finals at last happened on Nov 2004 and the couple were pronounced husband & wife .
At the time of their marriage Matt was a promising player with Florida martins and was now participating in major league games across America while Misty won the gold for the country in the 2004 Athen Olympics.
So with marriage, came the balancing act for the couple to manage each others sports career and it was always demanding since Matt was busy playing tour matches and Misty was getting ready for the 2004 Athen Olympics.
Their busy life was evident as once Matt who was playing against the Mets in Shea Stadium couldn’t be with wife Misty during the 2008 Bejing Olympics and so Matt had to ask his friend to feed him “the play by play status” of his wife’s critical moments of the game over the cell phone .
But all this celebrity conditioning and busy life did not make the couple naïve to the sense of reality as they were as normal a people as anybody, more so to their friends and relatives. When asked about her life outside volleyball she (Misty) said “Once the day is over in volleyball, I leave the court and no one sees or hears from me for the rest of the day. I like to keep work at work. It’s pretty easy for me to live a pretty normal life. I like to coach and I like to sit in a crowd at a baseball game. No one really recognizes me unless I’m walking around a beach half-naked in a suit with my name on it.
So here is cheers ! to M-squared couple for playing the game of life as it comes. Hope their game never ends.
