If America’s single young women have not been paying close attention, they will be greatly disappointed to know that Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis (or as Umpbumper Sarah Green prefers to pronounce it, “Nick Mmmmmmarkakis”), is no longer on the market, having married his wife Christina this past offseason.
