About Morganna
From 1969 to 1999, the performer Morganna Roberts was known as Morganna or Morganna, the Kissing Bandit in baseball and other sports. When she performed as a dancer in the 1980s, she was also billed as “Morganna the Wild One.”
The birthplace of Morganna Roberts is Louisville, Kentucky. Since her grandfather took her to see the Louisville club when she was a young child, she has always loved baseball. She was raised in a low-income home; when Morganna was a newborn, her mother Jane disowned her, forcing her grandmother Virginia to care for Morganna for six years. Then, just outside of Louisville, Morganna was transferred to Mount Mercy Catholic Boarding School.
Originally intending to become a nun, she left the school at the age of 13 with a friend, travelling to Baltimore, where she begged store owners for employment while living on the streets and consuming food from trash cans. She was too young to obtain a work permit, thus she was unable to find employment.
Numerous times, Morganna ran onto the field and kissed players from the Major League Baseball, such as Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, George Brett (twice), Steve Garvey, Len Barker, and Cal Ripken Jr.
She has been called “the grand dame of baseball” and “baseball’s unofficial mascot.” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was one of her most notorious victims when she crashed National Basketball Association games.
End of 1999 saw Morganna’s retirement, and she now resides in Ohio. She no longer does interviews, although she made an exception in 2019 for the 50th anniversary of her first on-field kiss by speaking with USA Today over the phone and reiterating her decision to retire.
