It’s been a year and a day since Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett hit four home runs in a single game against the Cardinals, and he revealed in an interview with Dan Patrick that his wife’s excitement over meeting Nick Lachey at a recent game in Los Angeles easily eclipsed her reaction to her husband’s historic night.
Lachey got a seat in the Reds’ family section while the team was on a road trip, and Kelsey Gennett was enthralled by Lachey’s presence.
Gennett: “He’s a big Reds fan and he was there . My wife was at the game and… like, she doesn’t really care too much about baseball, which is good. Coming home, she’s like ‘oh good game,’ I was like 0-for, I’m like ‘dude…’ It’s good, that’s what you want. But she was at the game and, literally, I had to hear about it for hours after the game. ‘Oh my god…” I’ve never seen her so excited about going to a game. After the game was ‘Nick Lachey this, Nick Lachey that.’ …. She got a picture with him, so that made her season.”
Dan Patrick: “Was your wife more excited about Nick Lachey or your four home run game?”
Gennett: “Nick Lachey. God’s honest truth, for sure.”
