Alyssa Milano is convinced hard-partying Hollywood stars would avoid trouble with the law if they gave up their wild lifestyles and followed sports instead.
The former child star – who rose to fame in 1980s TV series Who’s The Boss? – admits she could’ve easily become fodder for tabloid gossips.
But Milano credits her love of baseball with keeping her out of a bad crowd, in her new book Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic.
She says, “In the craziness of growing up in this industry and being a child star, I always felt safe at home. The beauty about going to see a baseball game is you have 40,000 people concentrated on one result.
So it’s easy to leave everything behind and focus on what’s happening – which is your team. I think that for me, if I had the choice of going to a club and (start) underage drinking, I chose the sporting event every time.”
Milano recently shared tidbits of her new book, discussing, among many subjects, her relationships with several high-profile Major League Baseball players, including her current love interest, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny.
