24. Touch American Football As You've Never Seen It Before
When baseballer Curt Flood was drafted from St Louis Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies at the end of the 1969 season he point-blank refused to move clubs - and instead he consoled himself by enjoying a game of touch American football with some Playboy Bunnies. Trying a bit of amateur filming himself, Flood talked to a few of the Bunnies as they prepared for a match against Washington University's interns in October 1969.
