 Here's what happened for those that are I remember I was 12 years old, and I was kind of puzzled by it I'm 59 and I'm puzzled by it now. So on this date in 1973 I Think this was the first spring training That's what I'm on the team. Well 73 right had to be the but I don't know if he bought it It might have been yeah, it might have been his first spring training. So imagine what he thought There they're two Yankee teammates two pitchers, and they're pretty good pitchers First Peterson and Mike Keckich Now for the younger listeners that we have we a lot of our audience is young they might not have ever heard this You'll be flawed you your your jaws are gonna open up right now Both Peterson and Keckich publicly announced That they traded families they've traded families Including their wives the kids and the dogs and there's a great Twitter follow Baseball by Beast smile that reminded me that this is the date that had happened and It actually worked out for Fritz Peterson Don He and Mike Keckich's wife and kids they stayed together Keckich and Peterson's wife ended up breaking up and it ruined families sure, but this would be considered I mean imagine take any two players you want oh And they announced today that they've traded their wives and their kids and their families and their dogs Rageous well, what does that mean trade kids though? Fritz Peters and there's just switched houses. They switch houses So they what about their own children though? They didn't they still I'm sure had to care for their own children Yeah, but their children like Fritz Peterson's wife and kids were now living with Mike Keckich and Mike Keckich's wife and kids were now living with Fritz Peterson and they announced it publicly and I as a 12-year-old kid I was what and even as a 59 year old ago what and why did they announce it publicly? I guess because people would have found out yeah, because I guess they were gonna be just out publicly with new wives and a different They were like wait a minute. That's not how people talking about my good no no before it happened Oh, I don't know because it was it wasn't that sort of media then and these players are not particularly popular Oh, they were they were Fritz Peterson and Mike Keckich were part of the Yankee starting rotation Now it'd be like if you said a Tanaka and Garrett Cole, okay now neither was Garrett Cole What but no one there was Garrett Cole? No, nobody was that great But Fritz Peterson was a really good pitch. It'd be like Jay Hap and Tanaka But the 73 Yankees weren't weren't very good So, you know your one-two starters aren't gonna be the one-two starters of the 2020 Yankees But how old were the kids? I don't know But they were just infants then they maybe they wouldn't know any better now I don't know why to this day in 2020 that this has not been made a major motion picture Oh, because I it is almost unbelievable. Like it just doesn't make any sense now um Who um What's the show that you were on it's on channel 7 peter a 10 o'clock Why is her name escaping me you were on to talk about the grammar tamer hall And I like the show and I watch it occasionally good for you She did a spot on how like it's it's making a comeback Like wife swapping is become or you know bringing in somebody else to the relationship or But that came across yet it happens as like an experience like for a night right not not training live But what makes this so unique and I've never heard another example of it Where you're just trading families not it's not just for the You know experience or for the night. It's like I'm changing my life. I'm going to take your family You're going to take my family. We're going to go about our business I honestly Michael, I've never heard peter. Have you ever heard it ever happen in music or in in hollywood? I've never Listen, you hear of people leaving someone for someone else that the person knew in some of course But this was a swap and having an open marriage. This is beyond open marriage teammates It wasn't like from other teams because I've heard stories like way back when teams in the same city That the wives would hook up with the players when because when you have teams in the same city and you could figure out what I'm talking about One team's out of town right and the wife stay home And the the husbands of the other team would go And be with the you know the what they would they would cheat on their families with the wives of the other players But but that's open marriage and I think that happens a lot in professional sports Right, but the fact that it would be like players from the same city teams from the same city I guess it was just convenience, but you don't know what's worked out I mean you said cheating. Maybe it wasn't cheating. Maybe this was just the way that it was an open marriage But this is beyond open marriage. It's swapping families. How is this cheating? How is this not like a book? I mean the whole thing is a book to me. It's great. It's that's insane truly insane Well, has there ever ever been like a a doc about it I don't I don't even know if there was a doc at least a 30 for 30 Now I know these aren't huge names Even for yankee fans, michael, even though they were good pitchers at the time Even yankee nation those names do not resonate beyond the store I'm going to tell you I'm going to tell you why you should like fritz peterson even more Okay Fritz peterson John sterling used to do play-by-play before he did the onlanders. There was another team going island ducks, right? No, no, uh, the new york. Did he do the new york raiders in the wha? Okay You know who his color announcer was oh fritz peterson really? Yeah Why I don't know he loved hockey and I guess he knew it, but that was john's color announcer It's hockey man. Both these guys are still with us. I believe so so let's get them on Why are we waiting for everybody else to tell the story? We should tell the story It's don best point you've ever been and it would make for a great 30 for 30 It really would I I think that the last I heard fritz peterson is not doing that great But a couple years ago. He was at yankee old timers day. So I know he's still with us 78 years old now And kek it just 74 so that's old enough to run for president steve bernie, right? Yeah Who does such a great job booking the guests on center stage? He just texted me said it's called the trade And it has been in development with ben afleck and matt daemon to star in the roles of peterson and kek itch Well, there you go But we need a doc. That's what peter's saying. That's just a movie. No, I want to I want to know how far along in development this is I I guess it's been in development a while, but it hasn't gotten the proper funding Anyway, think about that everybody will get back to you and it calls, but then 47 years ago today Something that's the thing that I find amazing is that The time frame of 47 years has not dimmed the outrageous. There's an article about the the trade, right? And afleck Daemon and a director in 2014 So that's a long development may not be happening That's what it's I think you step in and make this happen. Yeah, you restart a story. This could be the first thing when your new production company That's a good idea. Yeah mage productions The trade imagine a trade between one man and another Sleeping with the other's wife Sleeping in another man's bed sex Using another man's bar of soap the nudes are back smelling that man Being near that man giving cheer Cheerios to that man's children. This is the story of kekic and fritz It's all I got. How do you bring in a lawyer? Is there something that's to get worked out? I don't know. There's so many. Well. Yeah, there's a lot that's to get worked out the You have to I assume there were actual divorces and remarriages, correct The great caron veenstra asked a very good question. How were those kids not traumatized for life? Didn't they miss their dads? I don't understand. The only way I think it would work is if they were infants If they were like three months old, I guess they would be none the wiser, right? Can you get on that? Please Andrew, can you find out how old the kids were at the time of the the trade? I'm sure wikipedia has all the answers. All right, so we'll be back. We're investing
