Introduction (by J-Dub):
For this post to make any sense, you need to understand how we got here. Before we became Mr. and Mrs. J-Dub, we were just future bloggers who happened to be dating. While the future Mrs. J-Dub was a sports fan, she didn’t particularly care for baseball. The sheer reality is if you going to be around me, you’re going to see a lot of baseball. So what happened was eventually she started noticing players she liked to watch. The first one I remember was Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. Once she snarked about his small stature and boyish appearance that “it was sweet of them to let the Make-A-Wish kid play,” I knew she was on her way to being a baseball fan.
As we are at the annual All-Star break for baseball, this seemed like the perfect time to roll-out the first ever All Mrs. J-Dub team. Without getting into too much detail (after all, I’m only here to write an introduction), the idea here is these are players that a) don’t suck and b) are fun to watch both on and off the field because c) they’ve either been an entertaining interview on “Intentional Talk” or are a great follow on Instagram.
