After all, the CBS News correspondent played defensive back for Ohio Wesleyan University in the 1980s. But for Pitts, 48, his new gig as a contributor to 60 Minutes is like reaching the big leagues. "Television is a team sport," he says. "And 60 Minutes is the best team in television. It's like playing for the New York Yankees in the World Series every Sunday night."
