The Fan Teaser: Week 36 Solution

The Candyman, John Candelaria, about to get a hug
from an overly enthused “We Are Family” Pittsburgh Pirates
base coach … or is he?

Through most of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, Morganna the Kissing Bandit was a fixture at major sporting and entertainment events.

Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher John Candelaria was one of her victims – though oddly with a bat in his hand and not on the pitching mound.

John Candeleria is about to receive a smooch from Morganna the Kissing Bandit.

Here’s a lovely retrospective of her from the USA Today or, if you prefer some video, the ESPN E:60 feature about her from 2014.

Just to review, The Fan Teaser comes courtesy of longtime buddy, Pat Schutte. The cropped photo below and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you by the early kickoff on Sunday.
