Over the years, numerous celebrities have proudly showcased their immense love for baseball—be it by throwing the first pitch at games or relishing date nights in the stands.
One such couple, Kate Upton and her husband Justin Verlander, has baseball to thank for the beginning of their love story. Their paths crossed in February 2012 on the set of a commercial for the Major League Baseball 2K12 video game, and five years later, they tied the knot.
Reflecting on the impact of love and baseball on his life, Verlander, who was a pitcher for the Astros during their triumphant World Series victories in 2017 and 2022, took to Instagram in December 2019 to express his feelings. “It’s been such an incredible decade! Meeting my best friend, getting married and starting a family has been the most amazing gift ever!!! Nothing tops that,” he shared. The thrill of winning a championship, throwing a couple of no-hitters, and earning several awards along the way had made for an incredible journey. Verlander also cherished the friendships that flourished in the past decade and looked forward to their lasting bond. “Truly blessed 🙏🏻🙏🏻,” he concluded.
In a different corner, Emma Stone and her husband, Dave McCary, cherished a memorable date night at a Padres game in June 2021. McCary, described as a “lifelong Padres fan,” made his mark by throwing the first pitch during a September 2017 game, adding to his appreciation for the sport.
Baseball has certainly played a significant role in the lives of these celebrities, connecting them to cherished memories, remarkable achievements, and enduring love stories.
