Karina Smirnoff, the dancer who got engaged to MLB pitcher Brad Penny in October of 2010, has called off her engagement according to E! Online. They were supposed to get married in January.
Don’t weep for Penny, though – he’s cleared $49 million in his career, and previously dated Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano. I think he’ll be fine.
On January 18, 2011, Penny agreed to a one-year $3 million contract with the Detroit Tigers.[13] Being added to the Tigers roster reunited Penny with past teammates in Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins and Victor Martinez from the Red Sox.
Penny started off the season with the Tigers as their number two starter, behind Justin Verlander and in front of Max Scherzer. In exception to May, in which Penny went 3-1 in five starts with an ERA of 3.24, Penny had a sub-par first half of the season, going 6-6 with an 4.50 ERA, and with the Tigers' acquisition of Doug Fister in July, in addition to the success of Scherzer, Penny was moved to the number four spot in the rotation. Penny had a worse second half, going 5-5 with a 6.53 ERA after the All-Star break.
When the Tigers went to the Postseason, he was added to the roster in the bullpen. He appeared in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the Texas Rangers, his only appearance in both the Division and Championship series, and pitched 1.2 innings while giving up 5 runs. The Tigers went on to lose that game 15-5, which sent the Rangers to the World Series. The Rangers lost in 7 games to Penny's former club, the St. Louis Cardinals.
