In 1972, Yankees pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich rocked the baseball world by saying they had switched wives and families -- the "1960s" had spilled over into the 70s and the establishment (of which "Baseball" represents) was 'trying it on'. This is an original Associated Press photograph of the wife-swapping Yankees and their wives. This is what the caption to this photo said:
