This would have been a reality show for today. The reality show called Wife Swap today is just a show where wives are traded temporarily to experience the life of another family. But this was a true-to-life story that happened back in the 70s where it all started as a joke. The two Yankee pitchers, Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson joked about swapping wives and children. Yet, it happened for real. The two exchanged wives and children including the dogs. More like a LIFE SWAP! It was totally ahead of its time. That was considered a scandal back then. Today, it’s called a hit reality show!
The reports say that brothers Ben and Casey Affleck are collaborating to make a move about it entitled “The Trade“. Both Mike and Fritz are up in arms to fight it and have the movie blocked from being released. It is also rumored that Ben’s bromance Matt Damon will be directing the film.
