Washington, D.C. (March 10, 2010) -- Edward Achorn, author of the acclaimed new baseball book, Fifty-nine in ’84, has revealed who should play the wife of the book's subject, hard-drinking pitcher 'Old Hoss' Radbourn.

Achorn says Ms. Fox would be perfect for Carrie Stanhope, Radbourn's wife and the head of a suspect boarding house that many believed was a house of prostitution.

“You have to think someone like Megan Fox would be great. There’s that intensely sexy side to her, but also the vibe that she knows how to use it to get ahead, and she’s tough and determined," Achorn says.
