"Wow! Where to even begin. These past few days have been an absolute whirlwind. Feeling all the feels and all the emotions. I’m still struggling to find the words to express just how proud of you I am! To think 2 years ago you were sitting on the side lines watching your team compete in a World Series, nursing not one but two surgeries, tommy john and hip.
To see you on the field not just this postseason but this entire insane, short, unpredictable season showing emotion, having fun and reaching your goals has been epic. I could list all the postseason records you broke and all your accomplishments here. But I’ll leave it at you’re a WORLD. FREAKING. CHAMP. You are so inspiring, babe and I’m just so grateful to be your biggest cheerleader through it all!! "

Seager and Van Ham got married in a "COVID-safe" ceremony on Dec. 5.
According to their wedding planner, Sara Fried, the pair's wedding was as safe as it could be, even though it was held during a worldwide pandemic.
"Mady and Corey dated since high school and were so grateful to their friends and family attending the wedding (and celebrating Corey's double MVP of the World Series title!) that we had several conversations about taking the maximum precautions possible to keep everybody safe and healthy," Fried said.
"Our number one concern was the health and safety for the vendors and the guests."
Guests were reportedly screened for COVID on-site by nurses, and also had to sign waivers that they had not been in contact with anyone with COVID for the last 14 days, they didn't have symptoms, and that they were attending the event at their own risks.
Guests also had to provide information for contact tracing if someone happens to test positive after the wedding.
Congrats to the happy couple!
