Kevin James' Mets Fever

Posted Jul 14th 2007 11:26AM by TMZ Staff

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" star Kevin James really loves himself some baseball.

The King of Queens is such a diehard Mets fan that he named his second daughter after the Mets longtime home, Shea Stadium. "I honestly...honestly did. I have been a Mets fan my whole life and have such good memories of going to Shea Stadium," he told Chris Yandek of TheSportsInterview.com "Her middle name is Joelle after my dad Joe who passed away. I brought it in because he used to take me to Shea all the time. I can't believe this got by my wife. She ended up liking the name just for the name itself."

James jokes that his daughter's name will have to change when the stadium name changes. "I am excited and a little upset I am going to have to change it to Citi Park, her name, when they change the stadium over."

31. My daughter's middle name is Shea ,for different reasons but of course because I think it was pretty......Molly Shea to be exact. Go Kevin ames! I love King of Queens and Leah Remini the actress who play Carrie the wife! We will miss it!

32. BASEBALL IS BORING AND RETARDED! ONLY DULLARDS WATCH THIS GARBAGE! IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND BALL SCRATCHING! LEAH REMINI IS A WACKO TOLIGIST. SHE LOOKS LIKE CRAP AFTER HAVING HER ALIEN CHILD.

35. Kevin James is awesome! And his movie should be great! King of Queen was the best show on TV and if you don't know now you know! You have got to be nuts not to like Kevin he is one of best actors in a comedy I've ever seen.

37. DO, it's not that unusual to see fat guys with hot girlfriends. Ever thought that a girl can be good looking and not shallow?? Love Kevin James!!!

38. 14. What do you mean he is cute for a heavy guy, what does weight have to do with good looks.
I agree about Leah Rimini, she is one big mouth and I for one will not miss her at all.
In fact, I couldn't stand her on King of Queens, they should have had a different wife than her, anybody is better than that conceded, take over, over confident, big mouth

39. Kevin is a riot, and what does weight have anything to do with it? Nothing!! Man or women, you can still be an attractive person, sad to see so many shallow people.

40. If they ever make a movie about the 2007 Mets, Kevin can play Paul LoDuca.
