...Much like Michael Jordan (athlete), one might say, or Vin Diesel (self-explanatory), or Jesse Ventura (athlete-turned-politician), or Dwight Eisenhower (president)?

Here?s something to suck on, Yankee fans: In the 1980s and ?90s Waldman was a BLOHARD, her dues were always paid up. Her dog in 1985 was named Fenway. I?m betting that if she still has a dog, he?s named Fenway Two or Fenway Three...
