Remember that episode of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy that had the Fab Five making over Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar, and other members of the team? The creators of the show are about to start looking for contestants to be in another reality show that will involve the team, entitled Sox Appeal.
Here's the pitch: a woman will be paired up with a date for two innings of a game, then another date for another two innings. Then, in the 7th inning stretch, she'll decide which one she wants to stay with for the rest of the game (and maybe beyond). Not sure how they'll film a TV show during regular season games. That could be a pain in the ass for the players.
The article says that there will probably be a lot of use of the terms "scoring" and "strike out" during the series, and I predict they'll also use the terms "balls," "pine tar" and "hitting the showers."

I never thought I'd say this, but I'd TOTALLY apply to be on this reality show if they filmed in Atlanta instead of Boston.

There probably won't be any effect on the players. It will be a pain in the ass for fans sitting around the people being filmed.
Now a better show would be called "Groupies." Bench players and relief pitchers would "get to know" a few groupies in the clubhouse, an inning at a time. The winner is sent to the hotel room of one of the stars after the game. Part of the appeal would be that we could see how much the players really like the stars on their team. If, say, Barry Bonds was going to get the winner, his teammates might send him a real winner.

Why does this sound like a pitch that the creepy new VP for Alternative Programming on Studio 60 would be giving?
