Bleacher Babe of the Month: May, 2013

By - Kris Fletcher

I suppose I could start things off by raving about how successful this series has been since it first launched back in September, and how the majority of feedback we've received has been extremely positive. But at this stage of the game, why delay the main event any longer than we have to?

Many of you already know the routine, which is why you're here in the first place. For those of you that don't, it's pretty simple: The 1st of each month means a new Bleacher Babe.

So with that, meet Stacey Marie Strait!

Hi everyone! I'm Stacey, and I'm really excited to be the Bleacher Babe for the month of May!

Let me start by saying that I'm big on all kinds of sports, but first things first. My very favorite pastime is cheering for my son James at all of his games, and trust me when I say he plays a lot of them! Basketball, baseball, football and rugby, just to name a few.

And yes, I'm "that" mom, coaching from the stands. I've even been known to get in their huddle at times. :)

I pull for the Washington Huskies in college football, and in the NFL my team is the San Francisco 49ers. Even though they came up just a little bit short in this year's Super Bowl, it was great to see them make it that far and nearly pull off the comeback win. I still have faith that my man Patrick Willis will lead the Niners to a title soon!

As far as baseball goes, my favorite team is the world champion San Francisco Giants, and my favorite player is pitcher Sergio Romo. Eat your heart out, Tiger fans. ;)

Right now in basketball, I follow the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors. Rajon Rondo and Steph Curry are awesome! Since I'm originally from Seattle, my all-time favorite team is the Supersonics. I really wish the city would get another team! Back in the day, I loved the Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton era. Those guys were so much fun to watch!

I guess the best word to describe me is "active." I don't like to sit on the sidelines, so to speak. I get out there and enjoy life to the fullest. After all, you only go around this crazy merry-go-round once!

Well that about wraps it up for me. It's been fun! Take care!
