In 1972, New York Yankees ace pitcher Fritz Peterson and Yankees not-quite-ace Mike Kekich traded wives (and families and homes and dogs). Peterson and Kekich’s wife are still together to this day, while things didn’t work out so well for the other couple.
This was still back in the day when stories like this could be kept relatively quiet.
Ben Affleck now owns the rights to the story, and he might star in the film along with Matt Damon. Now, as much as I’m a non-fan of both Affleck and Damon, and I hate the two of them together, I am absolutely first in line to see this.

Okay, it looks to me as if he’s going in face first (though I think ballplayers generally refer to it as going in “headfirst,” for fairly obvious reasons) — so where’s the joke?

Two people asked me if whether I knew of any special significance to what appears to be a Satchel Paige tribute. Sunday was not, after all, the anniversary of his birth, death or first game in the major leagues. Paige was the subject of a new biography earlier this month, but that’s all I could find.(If you find this comic difficult to read, please click it to view a slightly larger version)

I can think of very few male friends or relatives who wouldn’t do (or haven’t done) this.

I’ve heard of a relief pitcher “warming up,” but that doesn’t seem to be what’s going on here

Nicole: I liked the Cornered because I get SO frustrated standing behind someone who acts as if they never saw an ATM in their lives and wish they would make something like this for those people.

Because Parisi lives in Boston or someplace where local accents make “here” and “hair” sound similar (and assumes this is universal)?

Is not bathing during the World Series some sort of quaint Boston tradition?
