Wife Swap

by baseballdailymiscellany

In March 1973, New York Yankees’ pitchers Mike Ketich and Fritz Petersen announced to a stunned spring training press conference audience that they had swapped wives. Included in this unique family exchange were two children apiece as well the family dogs. The trade faired better for Petersen who later married Ketich’s wife, Suzanne whilst Ketich’s affair with Marilyn Petersen soon fizzled out.
