In 2003, Sports Illustrated compared Morganna Roberts' female measurements, to that of a first-place hockey team record, 60-24-39. In 1969, at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio, she would begin one of the most endearing baseball traditions throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's, when she hopped the railing and ran out to Center Fielder Pete Rose, to give him a kiss on a $5 dare with her friends. The next day, a writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, dubbed her Morganna The Kissing Bandit, and a legend was born. From her meager, horriffic beginnings and being homeless in Baltimore City, eating out of trashcans. To becoming one of the biggest baseball spectacles of the era and running a multi-million dollar business. This is the amazing story, of the gift that was the Kissing Bandit. #MorgannaCottrellRoberts #MorgannaTheKissingBandit #PeteRose #GeorgeBrett #SteveGarvey #CalRipkenJr #LenBarker #DonMattingly #NolanRyan #DickieThon
