April 6, 1970 The reception at RFK Stadium Monday caught Frank Howard completely by surprise. It wasn’t so much the grand ovation when the Washington Senators were introduced. It was the welcome given him by Morganna Roberts, an exotic dancer, clad in a green micro-skirt. Miss Roberts dashed out of the box seats behind the Detroit dugout in the first inning, ran up to the home plate, tapped the 6-foot-7 slugger on the back, threw her arms around him, and kissed him. “It happened so fast,” he said. “It was very embarrassing to me and I know it was embarrassing to my wife, who was in the stands. Personally, I wish it had never happened.” “All of a sudden I turned around and there she was. I started to say, you’re not allowed out here. I don’t know what she said. I think she said De a good sport.’ so i let her kiss me on the cheek.
This was not a new act for Miss Roberts. She has run out and kissed Clete Boyer of Atlanta and Pete Rose of Cincinnati and Bob Verga of the Carolina Cougars.
