The Herald – How does he do it??? Red Sox starter-in-waiting Clay Buchholz has a way with the ladies – the hot ladies! Buchholz, who last year was linked to Penthouse Pet of the Year Erica Ellyson (click here for NSFW gallery), is now engaged to the lovely Lindsay Clubine, best known as Briefcase Model No. 26 on “Deal or No Deal!” “Lindsay Clubine and Clay Buchholz are engaged. … Clay, 24, apparently popped the question to Lindsay, 26, on March 13. They’ll tie the knot Nov. 14 at the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. Which is only fitting because The Donald introduced the happy couple to one another at the Affliction Banned Fight, a mixed marital arts event that Lindsay hosted and Trump sponsored last summer. Clay, as you know, has been down in Pawtucket waiting for a chance to rejoin the bigs after a dazzling spring during which he posted an 0.46 ERA. (Sadly, when Dice-K went down yesterday, Buchholz was sidelined with a tweaked hamstring, so he wasn’t called up.) The blond, blue-eyed bride-to-be, who was one of People maggie’s 100 Most Beautiful People, is an adventure traveler and a former model who just finished hosting the 10th season of HDNet’s travel show “Get Out!” Lindsay has swum with sharks in South Africa, bungee-jumped in Costa Rica and gotten up close and personal with a 600-pound Bengal tiger… [and[ is currently up for a role in “Iron Man 2.” Clay, of course, is best known for throwing a no-hitter in his second Major League start. We’re not sure if that’s why the rather geeky-looking Texan is such a chick magnet. But according to his dad, Clay’s always had an eye for the lovely ladies. “He’s got pretty good taste,” said Skip Buchholz . File Under: Beauties and the Geek.

Is Clay Buchholz the biggest overachiever in the world or what? He’s the Rudy of tail. An odd, twerpy looking guy who probably gets mistaken for the bat boy five times a night. Pitching in front of 7,000 people at McCoy. Who last time we saw him was terrified to throw a pitch. Scooby and Shaggy are less afraid of ghosts than Buchholz was on the mound last year. But he’s banging Penthouse Pets of the Year, hanging out with Donald Trump and marrying shark-swimming, bungee-jumping game show models. Incredible. Either Lindsay Clubine knows a future top-of-the-rotation arm when she sees one or Buchholz has a Johnson like a wooden leg. Regardless, it’s heartwarming to hear Skip Buchholz chime in on how proud his is of his son’s pussyhoundness. You don’t see that kind of father-son bonding every day. Clay Buchholz: Winner in Life.
