Star Wars, love and a reliever

When you think about the life of a professional athlete, you probably imagine Valentine's Day spent with a loved one on a trip to Napa Valley or a helicopter ride in Hawaii. And while that is likely happening this Feb. 14, there are just as many MLB players celebrating with heart-shaped donuts, dinner at Cracker Barrel or a card hidden in luggage before they leave for spring training.
