Alyssa Milano is some kind of famous baseball fanatic and baseball player groupie. I had no idea, but that’s probably because whenever I hear words like “baseball” or “designated hitter” I tune out and start thinking about butterflies or princesses. Anyway, Alyssa Milano loves the game of baseball (and nailing baseball players) so much she wrote about in a new book called Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic.
She says nice things about the game that sort of go over my head – “Give me a hot dog, a pitchers’ duel and a late-inning suicide squeeze (risky tactic to score), and I melt like hot pine tar.” Sure. I’ll take her word for it. She also talks about some of her relationships with the players, and how she feels about all of the steroid talk. PR Inside has more:
Actress Alyssa Milano has detailed her love affairs with top baseball players in a new book about the great American pastime.
The Charmed star has been fanatical about the sport since she was a child, and went on to date some of the game’s most famous players, including former Los Angeles Dodgers star Brad Penny and fellow pitchers Carl Pavano and Barry Zito.
In her new book Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic, she writes: “Other women dream of papaya facials and mango pedicures. Give me a hot dog, a pitchers’ duel and a late-inning suicide squeeze (risky tactic to score), and I melt like hot pine tar.”
And she admits she struggles not to date the stars of the game: “To be completely honest, after Barry and I broke up, I swore off baseball players. (But) Brad had me at, ‘Let’s go down to the clubhouse.’”
And Milano has used the tome to defend her sports idols against allegations of steroid use – the scandal which is currently wresking the sport. She compares the performance-enhancing drug to wrinkle-reducing facial injections actresses get to stay at the top of their game in youth-obsessed Hollywood.
Milano adds, “The big difference between injecting Botox and with taking human growth hormone is that there are no rules against Botox.”
From PR-Inside
Ha! “Brad had me at, ‘Let’s go down to the clubhouse.’” That’s cracking me up. If Alyssa truly loves the game and the players, more power to her. To each her own.
But what’s with all of these baseball fanatics, players, owners, et al and their collective obsession with steroids and hormones? Isn’t this one easy for everybody? Either you inject something into your body in the hopes that it will make you a better player, or you don’t. Either you tell the truth about it, or you don’t. Either a baseball fan notices that his or her favorite player’s neck has grown twice it’s size, or you don’t. Easy.

Not impressed. Won’t buy the book. I don’t care to read about some woman who made it a priority to spread her legs for any and every baseball player. Bleh. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. Professional athletes are the worst kind of guys to date or marry. They simply do not know the words “no” and “monogamy.”

Blah blah blah. I think she looks great. Botox must be doing something for her and she’s using it wisely. She looks way better than her second season of charmed. She was always my favorite.

Why does she look like she’s 15 years old in this pic? She is 38 years old.(Thats some Benjamin Buttons stuff.)More power to you Alyssa. Those baseball players are hot.

I don’t think the ‘whore’ judgement is fair–so she dated baseball players? Why is that any more ‘slutty’ than someone who has a thing for, say, plumbers?? (with apologies to all plumber groupies!LOL)
What it does sort of remind me of is “Bull Durham”…a movie I always liked, . It’s as if she’s trying to be a living version of the Susan Sarandon character (except moving to the big leagues!)

Its fine that she goes 4 sports men. We all have our type. But why would you write a book about sleeping with them??
She makes a good point re: botox & steroids. I have never thought of it that way but its true.

Jealousy kills!! You call her whore but think about all the guys you all have spread your legs for and then see who’s the whore.
I may not agree with her writing about her love of baseball and all the guys she screwed but we all have spread our legs two or three times at least. Don’t judge
