In an era when it was far less common,
Helen did a whole lot of naked.
I’ve never actually seen the notorious Caligula movie, but I know she played Caesonia. I can barely imagine what that must be like.

Now that DeRosa
is off to the Cardinals how about Willy Aybar of the Rays as someone to go after to play 3B. He’s 26 and has some pop in his bat and is blocked by Longoria. I don’t think he’s the second coming but he’s better than they’ve got right now.
