I didn’t recognize her out of her bikini …

Who’s this female athlete throwing out the first pitch and then hanging out with Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain before yesterday’s Marlins-Diamondbacks game in Arizona?
Here’s some hints …
- She’s a 2008 Olympian
- She’s won a Gold Medal in two straight Olympics
- She plays in a HEAVILY watched Olympic event
- She’s married to an MLB Player
So she should be easy to recognize, right?
Still can’t tell? Here’s another hint …
Oh right …
It’s 2008 Women’s Beach Volleyball Gold Medalist Misty-May Treanor.
You didn’t recognize her either, did you?
I had no idea who it was until I read the article. Beach Volleyball does a great job of promoting their female athletes. Well, at least a certain part of their female athletes.
By the way … I bet that’s the only time a ceremonial first pitch thrower has ever thrown to her husband (the Marlins’ cather, Matt Treanor) … while wearing an opponent’s jersey. The primo Marlins blog Fishstripes ain’t too happy about it.
I’d be willing to bet it was one of the few times a player from the visiting team ever caught the ceremonial first pitch either. Get Paul Lukas at UniWatch on the job.
And incidentally, May-Treanor got a louder ovation than McCain at the game. Even in McCain’s home state of Arizona.
Who is the better mascot - Stomper or TC Bear?
- Stomper (Oakland A's) (71%)
- TC Bear (Minnesota Twins) (29%)

NEWSWIRE–The bikinis worn in women’s beach volleyball have become smaller so that they are less likely to retain beach sand.
The suits that let more skin be seen
Are best at voiding sand and particles.
And when they’re shown in magazines,
I swear I only read the articles.
