Hot Baseball Wife: Erin Romero
Monday is Hot Baseball Wife Day here at UmpBump, and this week, in honor of Phillie reliever J.C. Romero’s getting reinstated to the roster after completing his 50-game suspension for a first offense related to performance enhancing drugs, we pay tribute to his wife Erin.
Erin met the Puerto Rican-born J.C. when they were both undergradutates and fellow student-athletes at the University of Mobile. Erin, who played softball, still proudly boasts that she hit more homers one year than J.C. did.
A self-proclaimed fitness nut, Erin has taken the blame for convincing J.C. to go on the regimen of dietary supplements that he claims led to the unwitting ingestion of androstenedione that led to his positive drug test, for which J.C. is now suing the manufacturer, alleging inadequate labeling.
The couple has a young daugter, Jaslyn, who was born in 2006.

I have met them both a a charity event this year. They were very nice and looked happy. I wonder why he would blame her?

I dont think he would do that. my daughter attended some camps and followed Erin throughout college. I never met her but my daughter loved watching Erin play sports and being around her so naturally we have followed her and her husband. I just think it is funny how the article was written.
