Alyssa Milano Writes a New Book - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 03-23-2009, 11:46 PM

Actress Alyssa Milano has detailed her love affairs with top baseball players in a new book about the great American pastime.

The Charmed star has been fanatical about the sport since she was a child, and went on to date some of the game's most famous players, including former Los Angeles Dodgers star Brad Penny and fellow pitchers Carl Pavano and Barry Zito.

In her new book Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic, she writes: "Other women dream of papaya facials and mango pedicures. Give me a hot dog, a pitchers' duel and a late-inning suicide squeeze, and I melt like hot pine tar." And she admits she struggles not to date the stars of the game: "To be completely honest, after Barry and I broke up, I swore off baseball players. (But) Brad had me at, 'Let's go down to the clubhouse.'"

And Milano has used the tome to defend her sports idols against allegations of steroid use - the scandal which is currently wrecking the sport. She compares the performance-enhancing drug to wrinkle-reducing facial injections actresses get to stay at the top of their game in youth-obsessed Hollywood.

Milano adds, "The big difference between injecting Botox and with taking human growth hormone is that there are no rules against Botox."

Who knew Alyssa was such a baseball fanatic? Well, I guess it should have been obvious from her dating pattern.

Hope the book does well for her...

I just saw her on Fuse promoting the book. It sounds pretty interesting.
