Danielle Peck is Josh Beckett's girlfriend

Danielle Peck has had 4 top 30 singles on the country charts, so you can tell that I have my finger on the pulse of Nashville when I say that I hadn’t heard of her until last October.

The Cleveland Indians had Danielle sing the national anthem before game 5 of the ALCS, which would have been innocent enough had she not been Josh Beckett’s hot baseball ex-girlfriend. Beckett was the starting pitcher for the opposition that night.

The Indians were up three games to one at the time, and though the Cleveland front office claimed that the pairing was accidental, to some (read:me) it felt like a cocky move by an organization that wanted a good chuckle before popping the champagne.

As you know, Beckett won the game and the Indians collapsed, losing the series in seven games.

Next time the Sox make the playoffs, they should see about having Peck sing before every game. And maybe Leann Tweeden could throw out the first pitch.
