Trades in baseball are about as exciting as, well, the game of baseball. (All those hot men in uniforms and then nothing happens.) But with news that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are attached to a film about the time Yankees pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson called a press conference in 1973 to announce that they had "traded families" -- including wives, children and pets, suddenly I'm a fan.
“Don’t make anything sordid out of this,” said Peterson, 31, who was then living with Kekich’s wife, Susanne, in Franklin Lakes, N.J. The 27-year-old Kekich agreed. “Don’t say this was wife-swapping, because it wasn’t,” Kekich said. “We didn’t swap wives, we swapped lives.”
Page Six reported earlier this year that die-hard Red Sox fans Ben and Casey Affleck are writing the script for "The Trade" -- much to the chagrin of Yankees loyalists -- but with a film about jocks and sex starring two hot actors? That's what I call a triple play! (Via NY mag)
