THE ZAPPER

An Erstwhile Ball Stater meets the man who makes balls taters when David Letterman welcomes Mark McGwire to Late Show (CBS, Monday, 11:35 p.m.). Last December on Late Show Letterman tied guest Peyton Manning in a football-throwing contest, but he'd be wise not to challenge the home run king to a swing on West 53rd Street. Instead, why not have frequent visitor Richard Simmons toss McGwire batting-practice pitches and get Marv Albert to do the play-by-play?
