Long before professional baseball was rocked by allegations of steroid use among its top players—and long after it was rocked by allegations that the Chicago White Sox threw the 1919 World Series—the sport was mildly jostled by allegations that a couple of players had swapped wives. In 1973, New York Yankees pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson started living not only with each other’s wives, but also with each other’s children and pets. Their tale went on to inspire Ben Affleck and Matt Damon—a duo we’re willing to bet have at least swapped lawnmowers or grills or something—to tell their story, as a movie called The Trade. The original plan was for Affleck and Damon to star as the pitchers and for Affleck to direct, but the pair was too busy to commit the time and the movie slipped into development limbo.
