With most baseball players choosing to schedule their weddings in the offseason, Gunnar Henderson and Katherine Lee Bishop will also be taking their vows this winter.

With the Baltimore Orioles having struggled for consistency all season and currently sitting at the bottom of the AL East, it seems likely that Henderson and co. will be heading into the offseason break once the regular season comes to a close in September.

Gunnar Henderson and his fiancée, Katherine Lee Bishop, enjoy the 4th of July at the ballpark

While most of the country enjoys a day off to celebrate the 4th of July, for big league baseball players, it is just another normal day at the office. However, they are usually able to enjoy some time with their loved ones after the day's game is over.

As the Orioles traveled to Atlanta to take on the Braves at Truist Park, Gunnar Henderson's fiancée, Katherine Lee Bishop, joined him on the field after the O's registered a hard-fought 3-2 win.

She later shared a series of snaps on Instagram from that evening.

"A really good 4th of July!!!!" Katherine Lee Bishop captioned her Instagram post

Their trip to Atlanta proved to be memorable for Gunnar Henderson and Orioles fans, as the team managed to win all three games against the 2021 World Series winners. However, such dominant series wins have not been repeated nearly often enough in 2025.
