Julie Ertz just won a world cup in soccer. Her husband Zack won a Super Bowl with the Eagles.
Mia Hamm won a world cup in soccer. Her husband Nomar Garciappara wasn't too shabby.

But I would think Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi would have to be at the top of most successful husband/wife athletes of all time.

Who am I missing ?

    I was going to mention that, but George didn't really have much of a wrestling career so pretty much all the accomplishments are on one side.

    Sort of like Joe and Dom DiMaggio...thought it was worth a mention though.

    Stefi was pretty much done when they got married and it was the last few years of Andre playing. Is it accomplishments while married? Or if Michael Jordan and LeBron James get married tomorrow, do they take the prize?

    Nancy Lopez, a case could be made for them too.

    Amy Van Dyken and Tom Rouen. She won 6 olympic golds and he won 2 super bowl rings.

    Unlike tennis, both are real sports.

    I guess out of that above article we see that Chris Everett and Greg Norman make an interesting case.

    Of all the ones named thus far, I think this pairing is #1.

    At least honorable mention to JoJo Starbuck and Terry Bradshaw.

    I don't know how you can bet against 2 HOFers, Ann Meyers & Don Drysdale!

    Chris Evert was pregnant by Jimmy Connors but they never married. A shame that kid never lived to see a tennis racquet.

    IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

    Cammi might be hockey royalty but Ray? Ray had himself had a very fine career and he's a good announcer. But royalty? Not quite.
