Rule 5 Sunday - The Woman Behind The Man Behind The Plate II

On the one hand, the Nationals and their wives aren't being stalked by hordes of papparazzi and continually pestered by fans for autographs while trying to get a bite at Five Guys, which is a good thing, but on the other hand it sure makes doing this feature of the blog a damn sight harder. Fortunately, the Nats320 blog came to my rescue this Sunday with a heart-warming post about Wil and Yormarie Nieves' support of the Capitol Area Food Bank last June, featuring some great photos of the lovely couple. Go read the whole thing; it features some folks from the Nationals' front office doing some good works as well.

[Note: the original version of this post had copies of the photos posted. I screwed up in not noting that the photos were copyrighted, and have taken them down at the blogger's request. Sorry, guys.]

Somewhat related: a good article by Kate Kirkpatrick in the WaPo about the glamorous, exciting lives of Nationals wives. Or, actually, not so glamorous. RTWT.

Rule 5 Sunday

In accordance with R. Stacy McCain's classic post "How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than A Year", Beltway Baseball is pleased to debut Rule 5 Sunday with (appropriately enough) a tasteful picture of Steven Strasburg's new bride, the former Rachelle Lackey:

The Big Lead thinks Ms. Strasburg looks kinda like Rachael Leigh Cook.

We can see it. :)
