ADORA SMUTS INTERVIEWS
DAN ALEXANDER, PITCHER
It’s
between Babe Ruth and Whitey Ford. I mean, who doesn’t love Ruth, ya know?
What the Hell?
A.S. So young you don’t remember? I mean, really Dan.
Fans want to know these things.
D.A.
None of your business.
That’s more like it. I think the Boston Blue
Jays are the toughest for us to beat.
(Throws his
baseball cap on the ground.) You are NOT
supposed to ask me those questions. Jean? Jean? Where are you (shakes fist in
the air). I’ll get you for this.
(Dan throws hands in the air.) I
don’t sleep with women on the first date.
Go to Hell, Adora. (picks up cap and
shoves it on his head)
(Dan heads for
the door)
Why did you choose to be a pitcher?
I like
to throw a ball. I like to be in control. Facing off with one guy is a
challenge.
When did you start playing baseball?
I joined Little League when I was six. The bat was bigger than I was (laughs at own joke). But I stuck with it. Eventually I got to be one of the best players.
Which do you prefer, blonde, brunette or redheads? What? I thought we were talking about baseball?
How old were you when you started dating?
Wait a minute. What happened to the baseball questions?
It’s
between Babe Ruth and Whitey Ford. I mean, who doesn’t love Ruth, ya know?
A. S. Ruth? Is that your new girlfriend? I thought it was Holly. She's gonna want to know you have someone new...
D. A. I don't have someone new! Ruth is the most famous baseball player in the world! I thought you knew something about the game. Jean said you did. She swore this interview would be legit and not just sex talk, like you usually do.
What the Hell?
A.S. So young you don’t remember? I mean, really Dan.
Fans want to know these things.
D.A.
None of your business.
Which team do you most fear facing?
That’s more like it. I think the Boston Blue
Jays are the toughest for us to beat.
Do you believe in sex on the first date?
(Throws his
baseball cap on the ground.) You are NOT
supposed to ask me those questions. Jean? Jean? Where are you (shakes fist in
the air). I’ll get you for this.
How many women you’ve dated agreed with your sex-on-the-first-date policy?
(Dan throws hands in the air.) I
don’t sleep with women on the first date.
Do you ask a girl out a second time if she refuses to sleep with you the first time?
If I like her, sure. I just said I don’t ask women to sleep with me on the first date. (Grinds his teeth)
Go to Hell, Adora. (picks up cap and
shoves it on his head)
What’s your favorite position for sex?
(Dan heads for
the door)
A.S. Dan? Dan? I guess that’s all we have time for today. Thank you for stopping by. Leave your cell phone number with my secretary and the next Saturday night you’re free (wink, wink) This is Adora Smutz, signing off until next time.
Holly's
on the run, where to hide? In plain sight selling hot dogs at the baseball
stadium. Dan, fed up with cheating women and gold diggers, spies beautiful
Holly hawking franks and wants to know who she is. Will her secret keep them
apart, or will the truth set them free?
Fed up
with cheating women, Dan Alexander, star pitcher for the New York Nighthawks,
grew restless. He never expected the hot dog girl to look as smokin’ as the
food she was selling.
Dan went into the playoffs,
hell bent on winning the pennant. But could he maintain his focus on the field,
where everything was going right, when off the field everything was falling
apart?
