Most of last night's episode about the life of "Baseball Wives"—who may be true, but are not from Hollywood—could have easily been cut and pasted into a Lifetime Original. It was a perfectly non-confrontational look at the life of someone married to a professional athlete. There was talk of meet cutes, adorable proposal stories, cuddly kids, and rousing on-the-field successes. Plus, there was the tear-jerking dark times. Drugs. Kids with head diseases. They even discussed David Eckstein without using the word "gritty." Then things took an ugly turn, when some dude decided to spill the beans about players' "extra curricular" travel activities.

Nice job, narc. Not that Heidi Hamels or Jennie Daigle (neé Finch) have to worry about that. Even Laura Posada is the type of lady whose man always comes home on time. But when Derek Jeter is your husband's designated wingman, anything is possible.

Via The Lefty, we guiltily introduce you to The Athlete's Child, a clothing Web site for "children who love the spotlight!" (until, in response to being exploited as children, they pierce their eyebrow and dress like Vito Jr. by the time they're 15.) Founded by the wives of Jason Varitek, Doug Mirabelli, Joe Borowski (seen here with his family after tracking down and blasting apart a mastadon) and Ron Mahay, it's a response to "a long time trying to outfit their kids to attend baseball games."

It gets better: "Children of athletes endure the public eye and are always looking for the newest ways to show support to their parents as well as look adorable. The new venture offers the support as well as the style."

God. These poor kids. The good news is that they don't have to deal with their fathers six months out of the year. The bad news is that they're stuck with these moms.

If you want to keep your soul, we recommend skipping the gallery.
