Zena Foster is Matt Kemp’s girlfriend (thanks, Sports by Brooks).
Zena is some kind of hip hop video model (a position more lucrative that I would have guessed).
Anyway, Zena and Matt made headlines the other night at the ESPYs when Matt decided that yes, it would be a fantastic idea to get wasted, trip, reach out a hand to catch himself, and instead pull down Zena’s dress.
I’m sure more creative baseball fans than I will come up with some fantastic signs to commemorate the…erm…wardrobe malfunction.

Marikym Hervieux is Russell Martin’s girlfriend. Marikym has been dating the Dodgers catcher since February of 2009.
Marikym Hervieux is a Canadian model and actress. If she looks familiar to you, it may be because of her role as Josh Weinstein’s girlfriend on Entourage. Or because…you know…she’s a model.
Eliza Dushku is an actress best known (to me) for her role as the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. You know — the movie with one of the greatest examples of Deus Ex Machina ever (an automatic gun tumbles down the steps and accurately blows away everyone in its path, saving the day). Classic.
Those of you who are still watching TV with commercials will probably recognize Eliza from her roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Dollhouse.
If you’re the sort of person who will watch a 2 hour movie for a second of boobs, you can catch Eliza’s very briefly on The Alphabet Killer.
Eliza Dushku dated MLB pitcher Brad Penny, but announced their breakup on the Howard Stern show in 2009.

Mia Hamm is
Nomar Garciaparra’s wife. Mia and Nomar were married on November 22, 2003.
It’s extremely difficult for a female athlete to become a celebrity (how many WNBA players can you name in 10 seconds? 30? The rest of your life?), but Mia Hamm became a bonafide superstar in 1999 when she led the US National Team to a first place finish at the Women’s World Cup\, building on the all-time international goals record she broke earlier in the year.
After the World Cup win, Mia Hamm’s wallet presumably exploded with endorsement money. She was signed by Nike, Pert, Pepsi, Power Bar, and who knows how many others.
Mia has also been on People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People list
Alyssa Milano is obsessed with everything baseball.
She owns Dodgers season tickets, keeps a Dodgers blog and started Touch, her own line of baseball clothes for women.
It’s not surprising, given her obsession and celebrity status, that Alyssa has dated a full handful of baseball players. She’s been linked to Brad Penny, Carl Pavano, Barry Zito, Russell Martin and Tom Glavine.
That’s 4 pitchers and 1 catcher by my count, which is too bad for Tony Danza’s character on Who’s the Boss (he played second base for the Cardinals). But it’s great news for Sam Malone.
Alyssa Milano is most famous for her role on the 80s sitcom Who’s the Boss, but she’s managed to stay relevant throughout her career with roles on Melrose Place, Charmed, and most recently, My Name is Earl.

Melissa Lima is Jose Lima’s wife.
Melissa shot into internet super stardom in 2004, when she accompanied her husband, then a pitcher for the Dodgers, as he sang the national anthem at Dodger Stadium.
It isn’t exactly shocking that this photograph nearly crashed the interwebs, but the account of exactly what happened is pretty interesting.
As Ump Bump tells it, MLB.com initally put the photo on their site in its full glory, but quickly cropped Melissa out of it after Jose got upset about the type of attention his wife was receiving. It was already too late, of course, as her picture was on every sports forum on the planet.
Juliana Ramirez is Manny Ramirez’s wife.
Surprisingly, there are a few people in Boston who couldn’t pick Manny Ramirez out of a lineup — and until they met, Manny’s wife was one of them.
As Manny tells it, Juliana was working out at Bally’s Gym in Boston when she caught his eye. When he approached her, he realized she had no idea who he was.
“She’s from Brazil,” he says. “They don’t know nothing about baseball.”
Manny and Juliana were married in 2000, and many baseball fans consider her to be one of the most naturally beautiful wives in Major League Baseball.
They spend the off season in Pembroke Pines, Florida with their 3 sons.
On Manny Jr’s wall, there is a mural of Fenway Park at night. Interestingly, the door in the Green Monster is absent, meaning that mural Manny has nowhere to hide during pitcher warm ups.

Carolyn Hughes was a sports reporter for FSN West in Los Angeles, where she anchored the “Dodger Dugout.” Any professional success she may have had up to that point was wiped away when she was suspended from her position for having an affair with Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe.
This wouldn’t have been a big media story under normal circumstances, but seeing as both Hughes and Lowe were married at the time of their affair, it blew up pretty quickly.
Derek Lowe filed for divorce from his wife shortly after the affair became public, and Hughes’ husband also filed for divorce.
In 2007, Lowe said that the relationship with his wife was already over when he started seeing Hughes. He said, “No one in their right mind would leave their family for a fling.”
