The Smooching Outlaw

[sanjosefuji]

My parents signed me up for baseball when I was five or six years old. I started in t-ball and played up to high school. Never once did I think I was capable of playing in the pros... but I definitely dreamt about it.

I mean... what little kid didn't? MLBplayers travel all over the country, drive nice cars, and get paid tons of money to play the sport they love. And back in my youth... if you were really good, you might just get attacked by The Kissing Bandit.

If you watched sports in the 70's or 80's, then you know who I'm talking about. And if you didn't... let me introduce you to Morgana:

Morgana was the sporting world's version of Dolly Parton. As you can see from her trading card, her honkers were huge. She became known for running out onto the diamond and kissingstar players like George Brett and Cal Ripken Jr.


A few weeks ago, I watched a great ESPN documentary on her... which inspired me to pick up the 1990 Pucko Utica Blue Soxteam set, which happens to contain The Kissing Bandit'srookie card (insert idiotic winking emoji).


Sadly the video isn't posted on YouTube... but I found a few highlight videos. Enjoy.

Thanks for the mammaries, Morgana! Happy Hump Day and sayonara!

Without a doubt she looks happy on that card. In other words, "she's just busting out all over". And yes, she definitely was a sport icon in the '70's-'80's, especially in baseball.
