Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff.
I'm Josh and there's Chuck, and Jerry's here too, sitting in for Dave.
And this is Short Stuff.
Kind of sports related, but real pop culture, to tell you the truth.
Yeah.
Because if you grew up in the 70s and 80s and you were a sports fan,
in particular a baseball fan of Major League Baseball here in the United States,
then no doubt at some point you either saw on the news
or saw live during a game a woman run out onto the baseball field
and chatted up for a moment with a professional baseball player
and then kissed them on the cheek and then run back to the stands waving,
at least for a while until she started getting arrested for doing this.
And that was Morgana, the Kissing Bandit.
Yeah, apparently she was born Nancy Lee Rose in Louisville, Kentucky.
She started lying about her age at a very young age,
as we'll see, because she had a very difficult, really rough adolescence.
But she became so famous for this during the 70s and 80s that at one point Pete Rose said
that he considered her bigger than any one baseball player in the whole game.
Like, she was really, really famous for this.
She was on Letterman, she was on Carson, and she was an exotic dancer by trade, by profession.
