Mike Mussina was a freshman and Jana McKissick a junior when they met in high school, with Jana serving as the student manager of the baseball team which Mike played. The two did not actually date and would go their separate ways, with Mike enrolling at Stanford University where he played for the Stanford Cardinal baseball team, then eventually joining the Baltimore Orioles in the MLB. During this time Jana would get married and have a daughter, and would only reconnect with each other after Jana’s divorce in 1992, just after Mike’s first full year in the majors. The two made up for lost time and got married in 1997, and have since had two children of their own. “Moose” would pitch for the New York Yankees until he retired in 2008, ending a career that saw him become a five-time All-Star, and win seven Gold Glove Awards. He recently capped this off by being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019.
