WHEN Jason Phillips was married to Molly Ray last June, a nephew of the bride bore the ring in a catcher’s mitt.

When Corey Davisson and Lexi Gresham married in August, the bride wore baseball cleats.

This fall, two high-profile baseball romances have been in the spotlight, both involving members of the Yankees. The team’s shortstop and captain, Derek Jeter, and Minka Kelly, an actress, have long been dating, yet their wedding plans, if any, are unknown. (And questions about that have lately been overshadowed by those about Mr. Jeter’s contract negotiations.)

Nick Swisher, the right fielder, and JoAnna Garcia, who is also an actress, are indeed preparing for their wedding, though essentially silent on the details. Ms. Garcia, who attended a Yankees game on their first date, was quoted, however, by TV Guide Magazine News in November as saying: “Nick chose virtually everything but my dress. It’s pretty adorable.”

But the baseball bridegrooms, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Davisson, kept everything low key: No glitz, no intrigue, and even though the venues were unusual, they were, after all, their places of work.
