Tales from a baseball marriage: Ian Desmond and wife Chelsey strike a balance | The Washington Post: The preparation for the baseball season, sprawling and yawning before them, began in 30-minute increments in a rented Florida apartment at bedtime during spring training. Chelsey Desmond took her two sons — Grayson, approaching his third birthday, and Cruz, just 15 months old — to bed in Viera, across the state from Sarasota, where she and her husband, Ian, grew up, where they live still. At 7 p.m., Cruz hit the pillow, done till daytime. At around 9, Grayson followed. The next night, they shifted to 7:30 and 9:30. The night after, 8 and 10.
