(one surface). Captioned in lower margin: "Mo Knows Baseball." Morganna, "the
Kissing Bandit," retired from baseball in 2001 after nearly three decades of
leaping onto the field to kiss major and minor league players. Attending a
Cincinnati Reds game in 1971, she went onto the field on a bet and kissed Pete
Rose. It was the first of nearly two dozen big league parks she invaded with
this purpose, usually dressed in hot pants and a tight shirt. Her "victims"
included Hall of Famers Cal Ripkin Jr., Johnny Bench, Nolan Ryan and George
Brett (who she bussed at the 1979 All-Star Game.) Buxomy Morganna
parlayed her notoriety into a nude pictorial in "Playboy" magazine, TV guest
appearances on the late-night shows of Johnny Carson and David Letterman, and
lucrative contracts as an exotic dancer. Of her encounter with Rose, she
said, "I tell people my career started with a bet and his ended with one." Fine
condition.
