Cardinals Manager Mike Shildt Caps Amazing Year by Getting Engaged on Christmas
This year's Christmas holiday brought cheer in more ways than one for St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt.
Shildt won the National League's Manager of the Year award in 2019 and guided his club to the NLCS in his first full year at the helm, but he's got even more reason to celebrate heading into 2020. Here's Shildt's excited bride-to-be accepting his proposal on Christmas Eve.
Shildt's now-fiancé, Michelle Segrave, posted the news on Instagram on Christmas Day. It's unclear how long the two have been dating, but her Instagram story is fairly active throughout the year, especially with her in attendance at Cardinals games.
