Holy Co....upid!
From the MSG Network -
This Yankee Stadium home run wasn't celebrated with a high-five or a handshake. It was sealed with a kiss.
The hallowed Bronx ballpark Friday became a wedding chapel for baseball fan Allison Pheifle and Ed Lucas, a radio baseball reporter who was blinded as a child when hit between the eyes by a line drive.
The 67-year-old from Union, N.J., and his 51-year-old fiancee were wed at home plate on a day when the sun warmed the winter air to an unseasonable 72 degrees. They were introduced several years ago by Yankees Hall of Famer Phil Rizzuto.
It was a first for the stadium, where the knot has been tied in the clubhouse and behind the outfield fence but never on the field. In addition to a love of baseball and each other, the couple share one other thing: Allison, also from Union, N.J., is legally blind due to her own eye problems.
"I don't think you have to have sight to find someone to love," Lucas said after the ceremony before about 100 guests.
