Mrs. Q! will be so happy when she sees this

Carlos Quentin currently has a great deal to celebrate.

In approximately two weeks, the All-Star left fielder will be getting married in Palo Alto, Calif. He also received an American League Silver Slugger award on Thursday for the first time in his career, finishing off his breakthrough 2008 effort with the White Sox.

But the best piece of news delivered by Quentin during a Friday conference call with Chicago media dealt with his overall health. Quentin fractured a bone in his right wrist during the ninth inning of a game on Sept. 1 in Cleveland, slamming his hand on the bat after missing a pitch from American League Cy Young winner Cliff Lee and hitting it foul.

BA too

An always intense and focused individual on the field, Quentin was relaxed and in good humor on Friday. He even joked about the role of Brian Anderson, his friend and White Sox teammate, in his upcoming wedding.

“I’m looking forward to have him park cars,” said Quentin, having a little fun at Anderson’s expense. “He was very excited about that job.”

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

I wonder if he knows he's only going to hit 24 homers next year.

Whoosh!

To cap his eventful November, Quentin plans to marry college sweetheart Jeane Goff in two weeks in Palo Alto, Calif.
