Yahoo! Sports – Nobody at Yankee Stadium could find a bad thing to say about the thunderbolt Raul Ibanez struck into the right-field stands Tuesday night, a ninth-inning, pinch-hit, game-tying, division-lead-saving, multi-hyphenate embodiment of clutch. When Ibanez arrived home, on the other hand, he wouldn’t have been surprised to hear a cross word or two.
He may miss the birth of his child because of it.
Teryvette Ibanez has a C-section scheduled for Monday, and if the Yankees parlay their 4-3 victory Tuesday kept alive by Ibanez’s homer and sealed by his 12th-inning single into an AL East championship, there’s a chance he’ll miss it. A Yankees victory against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night ensures them the league’s best record – and games Sunday and Monday at the winner of the wild-card game, either Texas, Oakland or Baltimore.
I have two words for Lord Voldemort and family – Tough. Shit. I know this is supposed to be one of those “human interest” pieces that shows that athletes are real people, but it does just the opposite for me. I have never met any dude who could skip the birth of his child for any reason whatsoever. If you get shot in the leg an hour before go time, your ass is crawling into that delivery room. The fact is, neither Raul Ibanez nor his wife (Teryvette? REALLY?) give a shit whether he’s there or not. You know why? Because the Yankees paid his ass seven figures when he was basically washed up. I doubt Mrs. I cares if her man is in the delivery room on Monday if he shows up Wednesday with a Rolex and a Prada diaper bag for Mama.
*Note – is Teryvette the goldiggerest name you have ever heard or what?

This the same gold digger with 5 kids by this man? And is this the same Lord Voldemoort who was voted the 2nd nicest guy in baseball by 290 MLB players? Crawl back under your rock, and take your little outrage with you. Nobody’s listening.
