With the success of rival HBO’s sports reality series, Showtime has decided to hop on board and create a series chronicling the San Francisco Giants quest to win a second straight World Series. According to Entertainment Weekly, “Showtime is in early talks with producer Mike Tollin to do a docuseries that focuses on the San Francisco Giants.”
Tollin has already produced acclaimed sports documentary Bonds on Bonds... or for you non-sports fans Varsity Blues or One Tree Hill.
I just hope Brian Wilson’s “Machine” is cast on the show….
A new reality show will document the ins and outs of jersey chasing in Major League Baseball. According to Radar Online, “It’s a reality show about girls who stop at nothing to score with athletes while they are away from their wives and girlfriends during baseball spring training. It’s about girls that have gone pro in the sport of ‘cleat chasing.’”
The show will take place in Scottsdale, Arizona during spring training camp, and show producers are still looking for girls to be cast on the show.
“Some girls reside in Scottsdale and others plan their vacations from other states around going to games to meet athletes at spring training. The girls map out what clubs, bars, and restaurants players go to so they can stalk them. These girls will do anything and are proud of it.”
The show will be called Baseball Annies, which is baseball slang for jersey chaser.
