Of course you’ve heard of Susan Finkelstein, the wanton Philadelphia lady who, in 2008, advertised a night of “romance” in exchange for World Series tickets on Craigslist. An undercover cop responded to the ad, and as you’ve seen numerous times on reruns of Cops, the woman ended up getting read her Miranda rights. It all led to her losing her job, and a suspended sentence for attempted prostitution.
And now … her own blog, Rounding Third Base, which ironically she never got to do back in 2008. It’s a somewhat ribald, NSFW account of her Phillie fandom which includes sex fantasies with various team, um, members, and other tales of Phillies Lust. Excerpts:
* Even as a 14-year-old straight-A student, I fantasized about sex and baseball, all intertwined together in dark and wonderful ways.
* Every day, I diligently clipped Phillies articles and photographs from each one and taped them into scrapbooks, little knowing that year would be the year the first World Championship came to the city. There they lay in grainy black-and-white newsprint: the men with tight pants who would become the objects of my first real sexual fantasies.
* During that magical summer, I was no longer “Susan Finkelstein”; because all good baseball players had nicknames, I re-created myself as “Crisco Russell” (right-fielder Bake McBride was known as “Shake and Bake,” and a big tub of Crisco shortening in the kitchen cabinet inspired me similarly).
* At night, as I lay in bed replaying the highlights of that day’s game, my thoughts inevitably turned to the players “teaching me a lesson”; in the dark of my Northeast Philadelphia bedroom, the long pillow in the carefully ironed pillowcase was transformed into each Phillie, who, one by one, forced himself on me, rough and hard and smelling like Spray and Starch.

Pretty hilarious, but I’m kind of disappointed that, seeing that this is the 1980 Phillies we’re talking about, there was no reference to Pete Rose and his corked bat.
So, insert your own observation about Finkelstein trying to extend her 15 minutes of fame, or this being the year of the wacko Phillies fan, or whatever. I’m just happy to see someone consistently updating their sports blog.
