Ryan Howard to Wed Eagles Cheerleader

According to Randy J. Miller (twitter), Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard is engaged to long time girlfriend and Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader Krystle Campbell, who has oft been photographed at the slugger’s side.

Good for him, but I’m pretty disappointed that he didn’t do it in between innings last night. I mean, what says "I love you" more than a proposal in front of 40,000 people on Hatfield Dollar Dog Night? Shame, that.

We here at Philthy Stuff wish to congratulate Ryan and Krystle and hope they live a very happy life together. But I swear, if you mess with his swing...

For serious, it’s officially a pretty killer week for Howard, who, along with the pending nuptials, is off to a blistering start in 2011 with a .524 average, eight RBIs and a pair of homers through the season’s first five games.

No word on the size of the ring or if Howard did indeed spend two month’s salary on it, but it is quite the coincidence that Howard got engaged just days after a certain other piece of jewelry has disappeared. No word on whether or not the two are related.
