David Huff, a left-handed reliever for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, is the pro athlete in the Huff household.
But his wife Lisa, he says, is the real MVP.
"Not only dealing with me, with the ups and downs of a season, but dealing with kids (two of them now), she's like Superwoman when it comes to the season," Huff told The Japan Times. "She just grinds it out. It's similar to like a single mother. I'm traveling, I'm playing and she's taking care of the family. For her, it's tough. Mentally, it's really strenuous."
